    SMA lead time on plot

    I have plotted ^TICK in a chart as 5-minute candles during the NYSE session. I have added a 5-period SMA (simple moving average) indicator. The input series is ^TICK(5 Minute), the period is 5, it is calculated 'On Bar Close' and the displacement is 0. I would have expected the plot to begin after 5 bars, but instead it is plotting after 20 bars. Changing the inputs has no effect on this 20 bar no-plot area.

    When I said I was going to be starting over from scratch moving to a new platform, I didn't think it would be this much scratch! What am I doing wrong? Screenshot attached.

    Follow-up: I found the issue. NT requires a minimum of 20 bars for a plot. RTFM I guess. Leaving this up in case anyone else has this question.
