I want it to be plotted only on the first candle in the trend of bars which are painted by the indicador. trading Share Improve this question Follow asked Oct 4, 2023 at 13:51 ROCKI's user avatar ROCKI 111 gold badge11 silver badge11 bronze badge Please edit the title of your question to be descriptive, unambiguous, and specific to what you are asking.
