Future plots

[rhythmstic]

I need to plot vertically using the EVENT object.  Does anyone know how to adapt this to plot price projections in the future space. thanks.

rhythmstic: There doesn't appear to be a way of plotting algorithmic price projections into the future.  I don't need any algorithms just how to plot forward from the current bar. Could someone help me out here, thanks.

EDIT: Oops, just realised you wanted it on a Graphical object and not for the buffers. I've never used  EVENT objects, but I am assuming you can just set the anchor point at a future date like most other graphical objects.

ObjectCreate( ..., ..., OBJ_EVENT, ..., date_time_anchor, 0 )

For placing buffer data in the "future", just apply a shift of the indicator's plotting along the time axis in bars. The Alligator indicator is a good example:

• Alligator - indicator for MetaTrader 4 (https://www.mql5.com/en/code/7803) - using SetIndexShift()
  
• Alligator - indicator for MetaTrader 5 (https://www.mql5.com/en/code/9) - using PlotIndexSetInteger(...,PLOT_SHIFT,...);

Hi Fernando, thank you for the quick response.  I will look at that.  I am new to QT5 so your help is much appreciated.

I need something like Time[-1] to plot (without shifting) beyond the current bar and even into non-trading days.  I want to see the future  <|:)

That is not how it works! You can't use negative array indices so you will have to use shifting or other options as stated.
