Not sure if I am making sense !!

I guess it is... how would i structure the necessary FOR loops etc.. when I need to reference bars both before and after the bar being processed.

You do this by using the shift variable in iMA(). You can also do this with Open, High, Low, Close values i.e. Close[3] which is 3 bars away from current bar.
