"Volume up down" indicator not showing volume for the first 20 bars

[MarianApalaghiei]

The indicator called "Volume up down" does not display volume data for the first 20 bars of the loaded range. This happens on any time-frame and on any range, no matter how small or large, no matter how recent or old. I have applied the VOL indicator also, for comparison, and it does not have this problem.

Why does "Volume up down" behave this way? Does it need the first 20 bars volume for various calculations (which VOL does not perform) or is it simply a bug? Thanks!

The line

BarsRequiredToPlot = 0;

is missing in the volume up down indicator.

The default is 20.

The default is 20.

Thanks, now I add `BarsRequiredToPlot = 0;` into condition `State == State.SetDefaults` of method `OnStateChange()` solved the **bug**. Like this:

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
// other configuration
BarsRequiredToPlot = 0;
}
}

Seems to me that an indicator like this that does not have any real logic would be set by default to start right away, no delay is needed.

Hello all,

We opened a change request ticket to track interest behind modifying all system indicators so they have BarsRequiredToPlot configured to an absolute minimum. I have submitted votes for all those posting in this thread so far. The ticket ID is SFT-4435. This is an internal number, but for anyone else wishing to have their interest tracked, please let our support staff know that you would like a vote added for this request.

We receive many requests and cannot reasonably implement all requested features or changes. Interest is tracked internally and if enough interest is tracked, it would be weighed against how feasible it would be to make those changes to consider implementing.

I look forward to assisting.
