Load more than 300 bars?

Postby jellison » Thu Jan 24, 2019 2:47 pm

I have written an indicator to draw support and resistance lines. I would like it to be able to look back more than the 300 bars that are loaded by default. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

How do you load the data?

Through the standard indicator framework (skeletal code below) - I can't get any data if history_length is greater than 300.

Code: Select all
function Prepare()

    source = instance.source;
    first = source:first();

    ...

end

 
function Update(period, mode)
       
    start_date = source:date(period - history_length);
   
    ...

end

Your indicator takes data from the chart and it can use as much data as you downloaded to the chart.
