Plot on the first 20 bars

[aeffe]

Hello Everybody,

I'm developing a very simple indicator that plots a line 50 points below the closing of each day.

Here's my OnBarUpdate method

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar > 1) {
Value[0] = Close[0] - 50.0;
}
}

As showed in the attached image, the line is not plot for the first 20 bars of each chart, am I doing something wrong?

TIA

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

You can set your BarsRequiredToPlot value inside of State.SetDefaults. This will control where the indicator starts plotting.

if (State == State.SetDefaults){

...
BarsRequiredToPlot = 10;
}
