StrategyPlot starts plotting at zero in price panel

[ATI user]

I have been using StrategyPlot for several indicators that plot in panels 2, 3 etc. and they work fine.

I am now trying to overlay in the price panel and using

if ( CurrentBar < 20 )
return;

which results in the indicator plotting at 0 on the 21st bar.

In other panels this does not matter as they have a small scale and 0 center line. However in the price panel of course this compresses the price scale.

I have tried everything I can think of to initialize the plot at the session start etc and nothing works. How do I start it at a realisitic value? Or even better stop it from plotting until the value > 0?

I am using

if ( !Historical && myPrice > 0 )
myPlot(0).Value.Set( myPrice );

and that makes no difference. It still plots on the 21st bar at 0.

Thanks in advance.

How about only setting the plot value when it is greater than zero?

you lost me there...am I not doing that with:

if ( !Historical && myPrice > 0 )
myPlot(0).Value.Set( myPrice );

See if you can turn off AutoScale. You may need to edit the StrategyPlot() indicator to do so if you cannot do it within the strategy.

ATI User this is Josh .

What I suggested will not do anything for the plot setting itself to zero. If it worked in Panel 2 I have no idea why it behaves differently in Panel 1 aside from weird, complex code interactions. Putting that aside, perhaps setting AutoScale to false will just sidestep the issue. Go to the StrategyPlot() indicator and in the Initialize() method just add "AutoScale = false;". See if that does anything for you.

again, you have the instant fix....excellent....works fine...thanks....wish I had not wasted so much time chasing different solutions.
