  Hi,

  I want to return the first value of an indicator displayed on the chart. How can i do this?

  So i want, the first value from an indicator displayed. Probably something with barindex, and ONCE? But can’t figure it out how..

  Well, I don’t understand it yet, could you explain it to me a bit more detailed. You want the FIRST VALUE of your indicator displayed over the complete chart?

  What indicator is that? Because … for example, a 20 moving average needs 20 previous bars to get calculated, and the last bar displays this

  20 MA. As far as I understand you, in this case scenario, you want, after the first 20 candles a stop  and have the one time calculated value of this indicator displayed over the complete chart?

  To stick with the 20 MA example, I would write it this way:

  (Barchart starts to count with 0 on the left candle of your monitor )

   

  if barchart = 20 then variable = Average[20](Close) end return variable

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  if barchart = 20 then   variable = Average[20](Close)   end   return variable

   

  If I am wrong, please, correct me.

  if barindex = 0 then x = indicatorx endif return x

  1 2 3 4 5

  if barindex = 0 then x = indicatorx endif   return x
