Hello! I would like to move the macd to the left in the editor. From indicators it is easy but from the strategist builder I do not get it. Could it be done from the editor? Thank you.

Hello vasagoo,
Thank you for your post.
My understanding is that you're wanting to apply a visual offset to the MACD in the Strategy builder, so it displays a previous bar's value on the current bar, is that correct? While you can apply a visual offset to an indicator when you just apply it to a chart, the Builder has no such concept.
You could assign the indicator values from however many bars ago you want to offset to plots and plot those from the strategy. The simplest thing would be not to display the indicator as part of the strategy, but just add the indicator with the desired bars offset to the chart manually along with the strategy.
If you are simply needing the values of the indicator from several bars ago, you can use the Bars Ago setting for the indicator in the Condition Builder to achieve this.

Hello vasagoo,
Thank you for your reply.
As previously mentioned, you cannot have the indicator plot using an offset from the strategy itself, however, you can base your entry on what the MACD did six bars ago. For example, here I've set a condition that says if the MACD crossed above zero then do something:
Note that clicking the Plot on Chart button would only display the indicator normally with no displacement; however, the calculation would use the value of the MACD 6 bars ago.
