Indicator does not plot first 20 minutes

[ntfred]

Hello,

My indicator is not plotting the first 20 minutes of the session. Just to narrow things down, I removed Close[0] and put in just a plain number... same result. First 20 minutes are missing. the indicator is plotting data from a secondary dataseries. Here's pertinent code:
(screenshot attached)

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.ControlDarkDa rk), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));

Add(symbol, PeriodType.Minute, 1);

}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// only process secondary [1] bar series (SPY)
if (BarsInProgress != 1)
return;

if (CurrentBar < 1)
return;

Values[0].Set( Close[0] );
}

Did you some how put an "Displacement" value into the indicator entry screen?

What happens on 10 minute charts? 2 bars missing, or 20?

Displacement = 0.

Good idea to check other time frames. On a 10min chart there are 20 bars missing, so plotting begins at 10am.

That is the standard, default BarsRequired setting. You can choose a different value for BarsRequired if you want your plot to start earlier than 20 bars into the chart.

Thank You! That's the answer. I just found this post which was helpful...

I couldn't find anything in the documentation about the default value for Indicator BarsRequired, but I changed the code and it worked.
