Minimum Bars for Indicator Calculation

[agenor]

Hi,

Whenever I add an indicator to a Chart it only diplays it calculated in chart starting from bar 20. However, SMA of period lenght 3 should already exist since bar 2 (0,1,2). Is it being calculated but only displayed from bar 20 on or is there something I have to change in code to do it and display it ? I've already checked the native script for SMA indicator, but I couldn't find where the limitation for 21 bars minimum is...

Thanks

Hello agenor,

Thanks for your post.

What you are looking for is called "BarsRequired" which relates to the (display) plotting but not of the indicator calculation period. The BarsRequired default is 20. Here is a link to the help guide that discusses BarsRequired. http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rsrequired.htm

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
