CurrentBar help!

Is there anyway to make CurrentBar = something else?
So when calculate bar on close is set to true, the second to last bar (Close[1]) is CurrentBar right?
And when calculate on bar close is set to false, the Close[0] is CurrentBar right?

Now is there anyway to make CurrentBar = another bar? meaning I could effectively call Close[3] as CurrentBar.
Is this possible.

In other words, can I make an indicator disregard the the last x number of bars, and start calculating currentbar from x candle,
Effectively what I want to do is shift the logic from close[0] to be close[3] (meaning currentbar has shifted 3) and also everything that follows, so close[1] effectively means close[4] if I have candle logic.

Currentbar is automatically set by the platform when a new bar is added to the series.

You need to create your own variable, which you can call 'offset'.
you then assign this variable with a positive or negative value, whatever you like the offset to be
and when you refer to a bar, you add/substract this from your index.

Sorry, I probably wasn't specific enough.

I understand you can do this, I'm currently trying to figure:
the MAX function will start looking for the Max value of a given period. High, 10)[0]
This is will start at High[0] and look 10 bars back for the highest high.
and the HighestBar will give me the bar integer that produced that High.
However, if I use the Max function with high, 10)[5]
It will start at High[5] and look 10 bars from that point.

Now, how do I get the bar integer for that?
HighestBar only starts indexing from the currentbar, which is [0]

I can easily attain the value from the HighestBar int.
So I eliminated using the MAX function, so changing the CurrentBar would be ideal,
and not have to use the MAX function.
