No Plot

[EthanHunt]

Thanks for all your help. I had plot type set to "bar".

What is the error in your output window or in the control center LOG?

What is the error in your output window or in the control center LOG?

There just isn't any plot line. The Control Center Log has:

Failed to restore Indicator 'Unknown'. Most likely (a) the implementation changed or (b) one or more properties have been renamed or removed or (c) the custom assembly which implements this Indicator no longer is there.

Which would be a good reason to not have a plot. Runtime errors cause issues.

I found this in my output window:

Indicator 'EMA_EMA': Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method on bar 0: You are accessing an index with a value that is invalid since it is out-of-range. I.E. accessing a series [barsAgo] with a value of 5 when there are only 4 bars on the chart.

The following code doesn't plot. If I comment out everything in OnBarUpdate() and just put the following line in that section I do get a lime green line. Trying to color code a line when rising, falling, neutral. Thanks.

		protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			if (EMA(EMA(Period), Period)[0] > EMA(EMA(Period), Period)[1])
			{

Add this check:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
	
[COLOR="Blue"]if (CurrentBars[0] <= BarsRequiredToPlot)
return;[/COLOR]
	
if (EMA(EMA(Period), Period)[0] > EMA(EMA(Period), Period)[1])
{

Similar question, similar answer. You are probably looking for "2" to be your escape value.

I added this code but still no plot.

if (CurrentBars[0] <= BarsRequiredToPlot)
return;

I added this code but still no plot...

if (CurrentBars[1] < Period || CurrentBars[0] < Period) return;

Works great here?

Thanks. What did you change in the code? I need it to be a line (it is a smoothing) on top of the price/index (overlay on price), not a separate indicator. It is an EMA so it should smooth over price.

I just added that line I told you about.

I even posted the code.

I had to put it in another panel as it over took my chart (I could no longer see my candles with all those lines).

Some changes to indicators--such as reordering the plots in State.SetDefaults--require that any indicators on charts (even if only in templates and not live) must be removed and reinstalled.

You have 3 plots: you need to check CurrentBars[2] also.

...
I have this in OnStateChange(), shouldn't that tell it to plot in the first panel? IsOverlay = true;

It should. Remove the indicator and reload it on the chart.
