I know you'll think I'm crazy, but I want my scripts to peek into the future, for the purpose
of forcasting prices. Judging from old posts I suspect, that this is a topic many people would like to explore.

I would like to display a cone of probability to the right of the last bar on the price charts, using
something like:

CODE:
Please log in to see this code.

where Bias is a forcast factor.

In order to accomplish this I would need several additional bars above the Bars.Count.

So here is my request:
An optional extension of the current data series, preferably with a separate color option (to differentiated the forcast from actual prices).
A user-definable number of bars is desirable, but since forcasting more than a few days is impractical, I'd settle for a fixed number, say 5, of extension bars.
If they need to have a default value, they could all be set to the last actual bar's value, and the user should be able to HIDE the bars individually.


Thanks for your consideration.

An AddFutureBars-like (WL4 term) PadBars is a long-time wanted request as far as I know. That's all we can expect (re: "HIDE the bars" etc.)

Robert, maybe you have any idea regarding this enhancement request?

It wasn't considered for 6.2, but the good news is that we're getting something much bigger and more-requested in 6.2.

Was something like this ever added to WL? I cannot seem to find anything like it in the documentation.

It wasn't added, and there are no plans at Fidelity to add anything like that. Peeking into the future is impractical (no bang for the buck).
