It should automatically.

Hello newbie0101,

Thank you for your post.

What are you looking for as far as historical plotting? What are you seeing currently that is not expected? Are you using Historical checks in your code?

Hi sledge and Patrick, thanks for responding.
It has to do with a 3rd party indicator from long ago, vendor no more but do not want to post code for that fact was /is 3rd party don't need troubles. I can see the code but the indicator only plots from the current day/session and was looking for some advice on where to look in the code that makes an indicator only plot like that and hoping to change it to allow historical plotting as well.

Check for any lines of code that will limit based on time, date, CurrentBar, FirstBarOfSession, or Session items.

You can find information on FirstBarOfSession at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rofsession.htm

Hello newbie0101,

Thank you for your response.

This would be in the OnBarUpdate() method in most cases, more than likely in a condition at the beginning of the OnBarUpdate() method.
