View Offset Last Value
======================

This indicator demonstrates how to plot the last value of a signal
that is usually displaced to the right by one or more bars.
The example used here is the Bill Williams 'Chaos Red' indicator,
which is a Wilders smoothed signal delayed by five bars.

Offset:=Input("Offset Periods (Delay)",0,20,5);
Periods:=Input("Display Periods"      ,2,20,5);
  {Chaos Red} {Bill Williams code}
  {Alligator Red Balance Line - Teeth}
  {8 bar smoothed average offset 5 bars}
ChaosRed:=Ref(Wilders(MP(),8),-5);
Signal:=ChaosRed; {sample signal}
LastBar:=LastValue(Cum(1)-(Periods-1))=Cum(1);
ValueWhen(1,LastBar,LastValue(Signal));
Ref(Signal,-Offset); {offset sample signal}
