after I hit F5 it plotted the new dots

here is my code

        /// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			if(CurrentBar == 0)
			{
				textFont1 = new Font("Wingdings",srDotSize );
			}
			if (CurrentBar < 2)
				return;
			
	

// Note: savebar1 = CurrentBar at the first dot + 20   
// Note: savePos1 = Price Low or High at the first dot
			
			if ( CurrentBar < savebar1)
			{
				DrawText(CurrentBar.ToString()+"l1" , true, "l", 0 , savePos1,  colorUT, 
					textFont1, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 1);
				savebar1 = savebar1 - 1;

			}

nkhoi,

In 6.5, you cannot draw objects into the future.

draw forward just mean I will plot 20 dots for the next 20 bars but as you can see in the first picture it didn't do that, there were 6 new bars without the dots. I don't mean I can plot beyond the current bar.

Suggest you check your savebar1 logic. Not sure why you would decrement it.

Set savebar1 to be CurrentBar + 20 when your condition is true. Then as long as CurrentBar < savebar1, draw a dot.
