Indicator doesn't start at the first bar

[fawkes851]

Hello,
I have the problem that the indicators in the chart (except VOL) start only at the 20th bar, even if they don't require historical bars. That is really bad. I want to display a fixed number of days an the indicators should be displayed for every bar. How can I do that?

Thanks

Hello fawkes851,

This is due to the BarsRequiredToPlot default value is 20. You can create a copy of the script and set this to one if the script does not need to look backwards and use barsAgo indexes that are greater than one.

Below is a link to a video that demonstrates copying a script.

Thanks, that does the trick.

The other problem I have is that the indicators are not drawn for the latest (current) bar. Is there a solution for that?

Hello fawkes851,

You can set Calculate to 'On price change' or 'On each tick' in the indicator parameters.
