There is one very different way. You can create a dummy data file with data
into the future e.g. until 30th, November. Then load this data as data2 and
"hide" it. Now ts2000 assumes that the 30th, November is the LastBarOnChart.
I used this approach in TS4 because there is no possibility to extend bars
to the right.
Using this approach it is permanent work to keep this dummy file up to date.
Maybe someone knows an easy way how to add everyday one more day to the
dummy file by software.
At least one possible workaround and the only one, I can think of, for TS4
users.

"and Sundays is easy, but when you also want to take into account
holidays it will be a *MAJOR* headache - there is no way for TS to
know future holidays in advance unless you create your own holiday"
Even with a correct holiday table it would make no difference. If
you will look at the dates (make bars to right = 200 or so) you
will find that TS does not know/pay attention to anything other than
the WEEKEND days so the problem is not too tough. It does take
a bit of programming though.
If working with intraday data you might note that forward of last
bar for tick and volume bars the time increment is 1.
