How to calculate moving average to not include current data for the current period. For example, I'm trying to create the Donchian Channel and the formula is the 20 high or 20 low of the preceding date. If so, this should not include the current date. All the moving and tsmovavg includes the current date.

N=20; % number above/below midpoint
u=[ones(1,N) 0 ones(1,N)]/(2*N-1); % weighting
mAvg0=conv(data,u,'valid');

It's just considering the N points to the right and left of the current point. The center point (i.e. the "current" point) has a weight of zero so it's not included in the sum.

>> [x;[nan conv(x,[1 0 1]/2,'valid') nan]]
ans =
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
NaN 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NaN
