Good Evening,
I'm trying to Plot Dots on the current 4 or 5 Bars but eliminate them from the left edge of the chart. As each new bar plots, I want the plotted new dot but the plots beyond a certain index (ie [4]) and all the way to the left edge of the chart to be a double.MinValue.

[CODE]
int fromHereOn = (Bars.Count-5);
int fromHereOn2 = (CurrentBar - fromHereOn);

if (CurrentBar >= fromHereOn)
MAPlot3[0] = Median[0];
else
if (fromHereOn2 >= 4)
{
MAPlot3[0] = double.MinValue;
PlotBrushes[1][0] = Brushes.Transparent;
}

Any help making this work would be much appreciated.

Other ways exist but this one works and comes in NT8.

This way is coded in an NT8 indicator called 'TrendLines"
It has a way to limit the number of trendlines but can be adapted for other things.

Check the code out and follow:
NumberOfTrendLines & Enqueue

Instead of setting a plot's brush to transparent, consider using .Reset() or .Reset(x)
https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?reset.htm

For example, when a new bar comes in or closes, Reset the Plot in question at 5+1, that way you keep the last 5 and the one slot before them gets reset so it won't plot.

I hope this helps.
