Look ahead indication question

[Bob S]

I'm writting a look ahead indicator and I want to plot to the right of Bar (0) - the current bar. Is there a way to plot to Bar (-1) ?

EFS does not plot where there is no data as for example to the right of bar(0) [ie at bar(1) and not bar(-1) which is the bar before bar(0)]
You can however use draw functions such as drawLineRelative() to replicate the plot. For an example of how to do this see this thread

The example provided in the thread I indicated in my prior reply shows how to draw the value of a study displaced forward by 1 period.
If you need to displace by more than one period then you will need to draw a line for each period that the study is being displaced. While you could do that by writing as many drawLineRelative() commands as necessary a more efficient way to accomplish the task is to use a for loop as shown in the following basic example of a moving average offset forward by 5 periods

function preMain(){
    setPriceStudy(true);
}
 
function main(){
 
    var Avg = sma(10);
    var Offset = 5;
    var AvgVal = Avg.getValue(-Offset);
    
    for (var x=1; x<=Offset; x++){
        drawLineRelative(x-1,Avg.getValue((x-Offset)-1),x,Avg.getValue(x-Offset),PS_SOLID,1,Color.blue,"plot"+x);
    } 
    
    return AvgVal;
}
