How can draw an arrow in the next bar with this code

New comment
 

Hi i need your help, 

I need to draw an arrow on the next bar and not on the current bar which is drawn by this indicator. What could I modify?


Many Thanks.

// Width of the arrows
#property indicator_width1 2  // Long signal arrow
#property indicator_width2 2  // Short signal arrow
