Hi Nuno
MetaStock will not allow you to plot an indicator value when there is no data for that bar. This means that what you want cannot be done exactly the way you want it. What needs to change is the way you think about the problem.
Consider the Parabolic SAR for a moment. That does what you say you want, but within the limitations of MetaStock. SAR plots tomorrows stop price on today's bar. There is a simple trick you can use to adjust SAR and plot it on the "correct" bar, but this trick won't work at the hard right edge so you have to use your imagination instead. The following formula shows how to plot SAR on the bar that the stop applies to, AND how to plot the value that applies to tomorrow.
Signal:=SAR(.02,.2);
EndFive:=LastValue(Cum(1))-4=Cum(1);
ValueWhen(1,EndFive,LastValue(Signal));
Ref(Signal,-1);

Preston,
Imagine that my stop is Mov(c,15,s). The value that I place in my trading
account as the stop is the value I calculated with yesterday's close (the
last 15 closes, actually). And at the end of today, I'll be able to
calculate tomorrow's stop (it will be the average of the last 15 closes).
What I wanted to do, is plot the mov (c,15,s) one day forward (yesterday's
in today and today's in tomorrow).
Tks
Nuno

nuno,
But it will plot yesterday's today. Nothing will plot into the
future.
