displacing a line in an indicator

[cbart_1]

EMAVal = EMA(Close, eMAP)[Displace];

that is what i have if i set Displace to 0 it plots the line without being displaced but if i put it to 1 or higher i get no line. I dont understand why this wont displace and plot the line. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Cbart1,

You are likely running into this issue:
Make sure you have enough bars in the data series you are accessing

You can resolve by adding current bar check.

if (CurrentBar < Displace)
return;
