changing plot

[fgs092790]

hi i added some lines to the indicator attached below to 1 for long and -1 for short and is working but I'm wondering if there's a way that i can modified the code that i can plot the signal 1 candle prior this is the lines i added (285, 286, 306, 307)

Hello fgs092790,

For the plot to be set 1 candle before it is now the condition would have to be true 1 bar earlier. While you can set a previous bars plot value for visual purposes that would not be reflected if you are using the value for a signal in another script. If you do want to set a previous plot value you would just use [1] bars ago when setting the plot.

Regarding the code you added, if you plan to use that as a signal for a strategy your public property needs to be defined like the following which uses Update:

private int trade; 

public int Trade
{
     // We need to call the Update() method to ensure our exposed variable is in up-to-date.
    get { Update(); return trade; }
}​

Hello fgs092790,

That would depend on how you want the logic to work, I couldn't really provide a specific answer on that. If the indicator is plotting in a specific way now the only way to have its plot happen 1 bar earlier would be to change its logic in a way that you can detect that 1 bar earlier.
