what do you do when this happens?

Sometimes I wonder about this program. See attached chart. What do you do when you see a chart like this missing so much data? Of course I've tried the following:

* close and re-open the workspace
* reload all historical data
* reload Ninjascipt

That's all I know how to do. Should have 3 whole days worth of data on there.

What causes this kind of error? How do you fix it?

By default, in an indicator, BarsRequired is 20. That means that, generally speaking, you will not see an indicator Plot until there are 20 bars on the chart. If you wrote the indicator, you can change the BarsRequired property.

Hello Tasuki,

Thank you for your post.

koganam is correct here, indicators will have a 20 bar BarsRequiredToPlot setting by default. This can be changed in the code of your custom indicator. Please refer to the following link for more details: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...iredtoplot.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.

OK, I see. The problem was with the holiday trading hours. The three days worth of data I'd specified for this 3000 tick chart only went back a short way due to the unusual trading schedule of the Labor Day weekend. OK, no harm no foul. Thanks, guys.
