If no one is up to the challenge, you can alternatively try a NinjaScript consultant.

Any luck with this one yet?

I've been trying my hand at code such an auto pitchfork but ran into a problem. I can't get the fork to draw more than 38 bars back from the current (0) bar (& yes that many bars exist).
for example:
This works
DrawAndrewsPitchfork("FORKU", 0, 1060, 0, 1070, 38, 170);
Doesn't Work
DrawAndrewsPitchfork("FORKU", 0, 1060, 0, 1070, 39, 170);

Anybody have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong or need to check for?

i001962, the only way to be sure that many bars exist is to return out of the code if that many bars do not exist. Here is a link that will take you to a tip that describes how to check if you have enough bars.

Basically your OnBarUpdate() should look something like this:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    // very important this is first
    if (CurrentBar < 39)
        return;
    
    // the rest of your code goes here
}

If that doesn't fix it, do you have any error or anything in your logs (right-most tab in Control Center)?
