Moving average help please

[Tulefi]

I am a bit confused with the MA indicator. My logic is that I want a condition where :
Previous period close < moving average of Previous +1 period close and going back 10 periods.

Should I use the the first shift in the indicator or the candle shift that you access in more settings?

@Tulefi either way will work the same. Difference is that the MA shift will visually move the MA line

Thanks! Any thoughts on my other post about a brief pause? When backtesting, the EA sometimes does not calculate the MA from candle 2 and back and instead calculates from candle 3 and back. I am concerned when going live that it will do the same. I suspect that I force the EA to wait one tick it will use the correct periods to work out the MA.
