Hello vasgoo,

Welcome to the forums!

If you are trying to visually move the indicator plot that is added to a strategy, this would have to be done from the strategy itself and changing the Displacement property. Change the BarsAgo value (I.E. DonchianChannel (Close, 52) [26]) would change which bar you want to reference, it would not change the indicator visually.

For example:

        protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                Description                                    = @"Enter the description for your new custom Strategy here.";
                Name                                        = "MyCustomStrategy1";
                Calculate                                    = Calculate.OnBarClose;
                Displacement = 26;
            }
            else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
            {                
                DonchianChannel1                = DonchianChannel(Close, 14);
                DonchianChannel1.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Goldenrod;
                DonchianChannel1.Plots[1].Brush = Brushes.DodgerBlue;
                DonchianChannel1.Plots[2].Brush = Brushes.DodgerBlue;
                AddChartIndicator(DonchianChannel1);
            }
        }
