John,
Take another look at the PLOT command from the manual:
Plot( array, name, color/barcolor, style = styleLine, minvalue = {empty},
maxvalue = {empty}, XShift = 0, Zorder = 0 )
Play with the Xshift value. Essentially from your description you would want
the following (untested):
5sma = ma(close,5);
Plot(5sma, "5SMA", colorred, styleline, , , -5);
// I think the -5 will move it back 5 bars
Plot(5sma, "Forward 5 SMA", colorblue, styleline, , , 5);
// I think the 5 will move it 5 bars into the future.
Play and learn....
