<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: The Maximum Bars Back value | <div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: The Maximum Bars Back value '''cannot be smaller than 1''' and '''cannot be greater than actual number of bars on the chart'''. This value shows how many bars a study requires to be calculated before it can place first order on the chart. It means that '''there can be no orders or any other visual output on the X number of bars at the beginning of the chart, where X = MaxBarsBack or Maximum number of bars a study will reference'''. </div> | ||
