Ton, Could you please repost the code...

This is one way of doing it. Or check the code I sent to Anthony. Here I am using two arrays. The historical data and the simulated data being shifted in the future after the historical data. I hope you understand that what can be done with a time series like the SP500 can be done with a simple line too ...

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.

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.

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 ... > > Regards, Ton. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Anthony Faragasso > To: [email protected] > Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 10:40 PM > Subject: Re: [amibroker] Graphing beyond the data > > > > Bill, > > I agree with you....even from the example that Tomasz provided...I see it as just shifting the current plot to the right.... > not actually calculating some future values and then plotting them to the right of the last value.... > > In the example...if you remove the 25 from the plot statement > > Plot( me52,"S1", IIf( Avg26_9 > me52,colorOrange,colorBlueGrey),styleCloud,Null,Null,25); > > It will move / shift the plot back to the left... > > Anthony > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: wavemechanic > To: [email protected] > Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 4:23 PM > Subject: Re: [amibroker] Graphing beyond the data > > > > TJ, > > I don't think we are talking about the same thing 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 problem is one of 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. > > Bill > > > > > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Tomasz Janeczko > To: [email protected] > Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 10:10 AM > Subject: Re: [amibroker] Graphing beyond the data > > > Hello, > > You can do that using XShift parameter of Plot() function > http://www.amibroker.com/f?plot > > For coding example, see DispMA (displaced moving average) > that is shipped with AmiBroker > > Best regards, > Tomasz Janeczko > amibroker.com > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Robert" <disqpl...@...> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 3:25 PM > Subject: [amibroker] Graphing beyond the data > > > >I have been working on an indicator that would look into the futur if > > the trend continues or if it reverses.
