How do you plot a future point?

I know you can plot to positive values, the line drawing will be shifted to the right using setindexshift, but that is for an indicator only. Is that correct?


I want to use this same method using objectcreate, but I am unable to do so. Is it possible, if so how?

Below is a snippet of code.

ObjectCreate("FCLine4", OBJ_TREND, 0, iTime(NULL,0,0), dcMedianPnt, iTime(NULL,0,-13), ?);

//ObjectCreate("FCLine4", OBJ_TREND, 0, iTime(NULL,0,0), dcMedianPnt, iTime(NULL,0,0-dtExt4Amt), 0);
ObjectSet("FCLine4", OBJPROP_COLOR, Orange);
ObjectSet("FCLine4", OBJPROP_RAY, false);

Or is creating an indicator the ONLY option?


Second unrelated question: How do you display your chart so that a future time frame always displays. eg 3 hours on an hour chart into the future?
