Default Value in MA = Close (Price)

[Jim-Boulder]

I have a customized indicator that under 2 conditions (such as 3 red bars in a row or 3 green bars) assigns a value equal to the distance to the prior pivot high or low.

When I apply this to the chart all is fine. When I add it to MA it appears to asssign a default value of "Close[0]" to the column--unless the indicator assigns a value.

The result is that I have stock prices intermixed with indicator values and I can not easily sort.

Is there a way to change this behavior in MA?

I have tried assigning a default valut in the code if neither of the 2 conditions is met and using a value of '9999' (the number), but this doesn't seem to ever be assigned, or at least is never showing up in the MA column.

Any suggestions?

This is default behaviour. If you set a value to a plot for the indicator, it should show up. Try something simple like always setting this to a value of 1 on each OnBarUpdate() to make sure it works as expected and go from there.
