indicator not plot in the past

Hi swingfish,

You can use PlotType.Points and leave the indices you don't want to be displayed empty

        [Output("Result", Color = Colors.Red, PlotType = PlotType.Points)]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Result{ get; set; }

This way you will get points only for the period you wish to see.

Best Regards,

hello and thanks for the hint, however the PlotType does not limit the output range, it just changes the way how it's displayed.

what i want to accomplish is simply that the line starts at the point where its started to be calculated and disregard all the previous periods.

sorry, please disregard my previous comment, it works just fine with the parameter 

the line is cut now as expected.

thank you very much

is there a way to "completly" disregard the old data from displaying it ? 

the "problem" iam still facing is that the chart is getting shrinked down because the previous line is still there, especially if there is a large gap

once the gap is not visible anymore the chart resets to the proper zoom, so my idea was to completly disregard the previous data

Hi swingfish,

There is no bulit in way to do so. If you don't want the indicator to be displayed for past periods, you need to empty the  IndicatorDataSeries values (set to NaN) for that specific time period.
