Problem with indicator showing up....

I wrote an indicator that is based on a length of 20 bars... My problem is... that is takes hundreds of bars before it finally shows up. How can I get it to show up earlier than this? My big concern is when ES rolls over, I won't have enough bars to read the indicator for several days prior...

Thanks

MultiCharts will automatically look back on the number of bars required to calculate the indicator. Without your code, I cannot tell how many bars is required. My experience tells me that most people thought it takes less than required.


ps. You can make a continuous contract on ES, that should cover your rollover concerns.
Look up "Custom Futures" in the wiki for detail

TJ is right. Obviously there is a function or another input causing the indicator to require more than 20 bars for calculation and outputting first results.

Is there a way to specify number of bars to review?

Yes, however it will not let you use the script if you set it to less then required. The only solutions is to analyze and modify the script.
