Dennis, The idea of a "Centered" moving average is that it will show you "properly" the action of the moving average. BUT in order to do so, you will have to "give up" 1/2 of the length (period) of the moving average on the Hard Right Edge.
The only other alternative is to use a Non Centered Moving average. To get a "Centered" Moving average to show values past the 1/2 period back shift, would require that your "predict" the values of what your moving average would be. A different approach would be to "shift" or "displace" the moving average the 1/2 period forward to hopefully give you an idea on what might happen. Your Choice. None of them easy or perfect.
