Hello,
It seems you are well versed with future arrays. Could you
provide
an example of how to code a line array to simply plot into the
future
without changing x0,y0,x1, and y1 of the array for current bars?
I
have tried using the slope of the line, negative offsets for the
current line that equal the shift into the future etc. but none of it
works for me. The problem I am having is a simple one - I do not
want any of the historical graph changed (no shifting of graphed data
that already exists). My objective is to simply "continue" the line
array into the future at the same slope as currently exists for
existing data.
Thanks,
David K.

But that's not what I am doing, Anthony. I am calculating something
in
an 'actual' array as if it is in the future. Then because I want
to see
it in the future I am shifting the array. Let's take a simple
example. I
want to simulate the SP500 in the future. Therefore I
mirror the SP500
let's say over the last 20 days in a new array. Now
I want to see the
SP500 in the future. So therefore I am shifting the
mirrored time series
and get something like underneath graph :

The Ichimoku example Tomasz gave is exactly the same story. He
calculated a future value in an 'actual' array and then shifted the
array in the future because there you want to see the result. The
fact he is doing a calculation in an 'actual' array does not mean
that he is not doing future calculations ...

Frankly I do not see the difference Anthony. I am calculating
all kinds
of values in an array that are based upon the future. After
having done
so, I am shifting the array in the future for visual
purpose. But that's
just to show me the values in the graph on the
right place. When making
future calculations in the array for me
there is no difference between
shifting and extending. So I just do
not get your problem ...

perhaps
because of our understanding of the words "shift" and "extend".
To
me "shift" means to move to the right into the blank space
and
"extend" means to calculate new values in the blank space.

The problem as I see it is shown in the screen shot below
(bars are
included for counting purposes). Two charts of a sine
curve in which one
is shifted with Plot() by 10 bars into the blank
space. By the
definitions above, if the curve is simply shifted the
last value will
remain unchanged (as shown) whereas an extended curve
would have a last
value around 1 rather than -1.
>
> Based on the definitions
above, I view these charts as
evidence that Plot() shifts the curve and
does not calculate what the
value should be 10 bars into the future. As
far as I can tell,
the "extend" parameter in LineArray() actually does
extend into the
future as do the charting tools.

Definitions aside, am I using Plot() correctly or is there
a way to use
Plot() in order to get what I call "extend"
functionality. The type of
functionality is what is needed for a
variety of studies of the type
shown in the TradeStation screen shots.

Then to actually display these future

use XShift.

extension not shifting which Plot() cannot
handle. Extending
indicators, as Robert and many of us want to do, is
necessary to
identify future values for a variety of studies, including
Hurst
channel projections, cycles, etc. Here are TradeStation examples
showing the extension of the analysis (not a shift) into the
future.
