Hello alexstox,
Thanks for writing in and I am happy to assist you.

You can use the below code in the Initialize section of the indicator

BarsRequuired = 100;

or you can use the below code just below the OnBarUpdate section of the code

if (CurrentBar < 100) return;

This will make sure you have the plots only after the 100th bar.

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

So, I can't do this without coding just in ParameterWindow of indicator?
By default indicator calculate average value of periods before MyPeriods?

Hello alexstox,
Unfortunately you cannot do it via the indicator parameters dialog. You have to custom code/modify the indicator. I will however forward your feature request to development for future consideration.

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.
