Plotting in "future" ...

[AndBro]

Hello,
In my indicator, when executing OnBarUpdate(), I catch some values for plotting. However I don’t want to plot these value at Value[0] (or something like at Value[0+k]). The location (bar index) of the bar where I want to plot the values, hasn’t yet been reach in OnBarUpdate() at that point.

1. Do I have to wait for CurrentBar to reach the bar index I’m waiting for, and then do Value[0] = … or
2. .. can I do something like Value(myOwnBarIndex) = …

Thank you/Anders

Hello AndBro,

Thank you for your post.

You would use a negative index, for example:

• Plot0[-5] = Close[0]; // this would set the Close value to the plot 5 bars later.

Hello Patrick, I tried to use a negative “barsago”, it did compile but I got a runtime error. Anyway, I found out a very simple solution and just wait for CurrentBar to reach a certain value, and then I do the plotting.
My problem is solved, and we can drop this issue now. Thank you. /Anders
