You can displace the plots (not the buffers) and they will be displayed in the "future"
However, the indexes of the buffers won't change its numeration so be careful if you try to access values from code
If you are drawing objects with coordinates given in price and time, you can pass future times to the function.
I'm considering if it should be an object yes, because as Manuel said above the buffers do get messed up
when trying to make space for those extra bar calculations.
It is also a visual requirement, demanding visual solution, such as drawing an object.

Hello,
Since trading is all based on a forecast about the future, being able to draw indicators' plots
beyond current bar [rates_total-1] would be nice.
The idea came to me while thinking of MAs and timing moves. Especially for higher period MAs,
a visual representation of the nearby future with a distinguished dashed-lined could be very useful for traders.
If there is a way to do that atm, I'm not aware of it and would be thankful of any tips.
