MQL4参考 自定义指标 SetIndexDrawBegin

SetIndexDrawBegin

Sets the bar number (from the data beginning) from which the drawing of the given indicator line must start.

void  SetIndexDrawBegin(
   int     index,       // line index
   int     begin        // position
   );

Parameters

index

[in]  Line index. Must lie between 0 and 7.

begin

[in]  First drawing bar position number.

Returned value

None.

Note

The indicators are drawn from left to right. The indicator array values that are to the left of the given bar will not be shown in the chart or in the DataWindow. 0 will be set as default, and all data will be drawn.
