Default BarsRequiredToPlot and VolumeUpDown

[ntbone]

I noticed that the Volume Up Down built in indicator was refusing to draw the first 20 bars. I also noticed in my own indicator development if I never set BarsRequiredToPlot to any value, it seems to assume a default value of 20.

What is the default value for BarsRequiredToPlot?

If its not 0, then this appears to be a bug in the Volume Up Down indicator since it should be able to plot from the very first bar similar to the standard volume indicator.

Hello ntbone,

BarsRequiredToPlot by default is 20.

(To check the default of a property, don't set it in State.SetDefaults and then print the value of the property in State.DataLoaded)

Thanks. It would be helpful to update the documentation indicating that its default value is not 0.

Why was 20 chosen and why does the Volume Up Down built in not override it with a value of 0?

Hello ntbone,

I have received tracking ID# SFT-4049 for this request to state the default value with the help guide definition for BarsRequiredToPlot.

Please note it is up to the NinjaTrader Development to decide if or when any request will be implemented.

We appreciate your feedback on this.
