Does the word lag still applicable in our filters? I haven't tried it in a long time and when I tried it recently I didn't see any affect. If it doesn't work, what verbiage can I use to back up the result in the filter by X many days. Example maybe i want the result to happen 2 days before it really happens etc.

Guru Trader, this is a simple filter but still showing what I am talking about here where i want to back up the results by X amount of days to truly catch the trigger point better.
and price is above 4
and macd histogram is crossing above 0 2 days ago
I have tried it using 2 days shown here and 4 days ago, and 1 week ago but I still get the same results. That being where it gives me the results as the macd histogram actually crosses the 0 line. I want it to back up so many days and show it a hair earlier. I hope I have been clear on what I am trying to achieve. I liked your thought on the "2 days ago" try but it didnt seem to work even though the debug status all looked "ok".
Maybe there's another expression that can create what I am striving for? Your help and others is always appreciated. Thank you.

I found this regarding lag.

I have a suspicion that the word lag only applys to certain functions. So it may not work with "crossing above". Didn't seem to work when i was trying to do something similar with MA's
Good luck

or maybe ....
i think you just need to place the " day ago" in the proper locale. imho
you want the histogram 2 day ago, not the 0?
