I want to add one dummy/future price one bar forward to the current bar. For example, if current bar with index 0 with H, L, open, last/close price, last bar with index [-1] with H, L, open, close price; then I want to create a dummy/future bar with index of 1, and assign H=L=open=last price of the current bar (index 0).

When I call stochastic indicator, I'd like the price of the dummy/future bar be used to calculate the value for the next bar based on the assumptive price of H=L=open=last price. I am not sure how to modify the existing source code, as it seems calling a systemic array of price history. Can someone help? appreciate very much!

Here is the source code for the slow stochastics.

/**********************************************************************/
SCSFExport scsf_SlowStochastic(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{
SCSubgraphRef SlowK = sc.Subgraph[0];

SCSubgraphRef Line2 = sc.Subgraph[3];
SCSubgraphRef Temp4 = sc.Subgraph[4];

SCInputRef FastKLength = sc.Input[2];
SCInputRef FastDLength = sc.Input[3];
SCInputRef SlowDLength = sc.Input[4];
SCInputRef Line1Value = sc.Input[5];
SCInputRef Line2Value = sc.Input[6];
SCInputRef MovAvgType = sc.Input[7];
SCInputRef InputDataHigh = sc.Input[8];
SCInputRef InputDataLow = sc.Input[9];
SCInputRef InputDataLast = sc.Input[10];
SCInputRef UpdateFlag = sc.Input[11];

if ( sc.SetDefaults )
{
sc.GraphName = "Stochastic - Slow";

sc.ValueFormat = 2;

SlowDLength.SetIntLimits(1,MAX_STUDY_LENGTH);

Line1Value.Name = "Line1 Value";
Line1Value.SetFloat(70);

Line2Value.Name = "Line2 Value";
Line2Value.SetFloat(30);

MovAvgType.Name = "Moving Average Type";
MovAvgType.SetMovAvgType(MOVAVGTYPE_SIMPLE);

InputDataHigh.SetInputDataIndex(SC_HIGH);

InputDataLow.Name = "Input Data for Low";
InputDataLow.SetInputDataIndex(SC_LOW);

InputDataLast.Name = "Input Data for Last";
InputDataLast.SetInputDataIndex(SC_LAST);

UpdateFlag.SetInt(1); //update flag

sc.AutoLoop = true;
return;
}


sc.DataStartIndex = FastKLength.GetInt() + FastDLength.GetInt() + SlowDLength.GetInt();

sc.Stochastic(
sc.BaseData[InputDataHigh.GetInputDataIndex()],
sc.BaseData[InputDataLow.GetInputDataIndex()],
sc.BaseData[InputDataLast.GetInputDataIndex()],
Temp4, // Data member is Fast %K
FastKLength.GetInt(),
FastDLength.GetInt(),
SlowDLength.GetInt(),
MovAvgType.GetMovAvgType()
);

SlowK[sc.Index] = Temp4.Arrays[0][sc.Index];
SlowD[sc.Index] = Temp4.Arrays[1][sc.Index];

Line1[sc.Index] = Line1Value.GetFloat();
Line2[sc.Index] = Line2Value.GetFloat();

return;
