Indicator Only Plots Live Market

[Trader494]

I have an indicator that I made and it only plots when connected live to market data feed. So if I restart my computer
the plots from earlier are not there. And if I start trading at 10:00 am, or 1pm, no earlier plots are shown on the chart. It just plots when
live. How do I fix this?

Check in your code to see if you have:

If(State == State.Historical)
return;

if you do remove it.

No dont see that code. I have if (State == State.Configure)

[ballboy11]

check if you have maximum bars back

Hello Trader494,

Thank you for writing in.

It sounds like the indicator is doing calculations off real time data only. If you're data provider did not provide historical tick data yet the indicator tries pulling this, I would expect to see what you're seeing. But without the full code we're unable to test on our end.

If you'd like to provide the full code I can take a look and see if anything jumps out. Please use the following format.

To export a NinjaScript from NinjaTrader 8 do the following:
From the Control Center window select Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript...
Click Add>Select the indicator>OK>Export.
Then attach that file you saved; under My Docs>NT8>Bin>Custom>Select the downloaded .zip file.

I look forward to your reply.
