Hi all,

Trying my hand at developing a NT8 Supertrend indicator that mirrors the version found on TradingView. I've tried the TSSuperTrend indicator, which supposedly was converted from an equivalent in NT7, but found that it had some unusual properties not found in the standard Supertrend indicator that made it differ considerably from the TV one I've been used to using - some SMA smoothing and other such things.

I've got most of the core functionality down, but I'm running into an issue with the final plot behavior. I've been given to understand (from reading other indicators) that to "turn off" a plot for a span of bars one fills the points with NaNs, but this puts an unusual characteristic artifact to the indicator (see first photo below) - namely, that NT8 appears to render NaNs as equal to infinity (or something of that sort). I need help adjusting my final code so that rather than plotting these "artifacts", each Supertrend series simply does not plot at the respective times. I've included the source code as well as a TradingView screenshot of the final behavior I'm looking to achieve.

Thanks in advance,

I haven't tested it, but I think you should simply assign nothing instead of double.NaN. For example, this might work:

if (direction < 0) Values[0][0] = superTrend[0];
if (direction > 0) Values[1][0] = superTrend[0];
