I've calculated a value that I want to plot right of the right most bar of the chart.
Say I want to plot the value 123.45 on tommows bar.
The problem is not calculating the value.
MS also plots it correctly on existing bars.
But it refuses to go past the last plotted bar.
Any idea how do the above?

Unfortunately, this cannot be done in MetaStock. An indicator cannot be plotted past the last point of data.

A temporary solution to the "null plot beyond data series" problem:
1) Right-click on the price chart;
2) Edit Data;
3) Highlight whole of last data row in The Downloader;
4) Copy & Paste above line into the next empty data row below;
5) Continue step #4 to create a synthetic data set into the future as needed;
6) Save & exit.
Presto! You can now plot into the future.
There is another trick that can be done to shift indicator plots into the future within their own window. The construction of this process is too involved to post here, but will be available in an up and coming MetaStock add-on - the "LookAhead" kit.
