I had a similar problem when I wanted to shift a moving average to the
right. Metastock cuts the line off on the last bar. Their support desk told
me to edit the database and stick some fake bars in so that the line would
be extended. This is pretty hard to do especially if you are trying to do it
real-time. I don't understand why they can't extend the line since they do
right extensions for some of their other studies.

|The Robert Krausz article in TASC(Feb'98) on Gann Swing Trading included
|
|the use of an indicator - the HiLo Activator - which is used as a
|
|buy-stop or sell-stop signal. On p.55 he explains "....it is a 3 period
|
|simple moving average of the highs or lows...for end-of-day we add the
|
|last three periods highs (lows) and divide the sum by three. This must
|
|include the latest bar. The result is then plotted one period forward as
|
|a horizontal line, so that you have a horizontal price point to act with
|
|tomorrow."
|
|I've had a go at plotting this value a day in advance and as a
|horizontal line but with no luck...any advice?
