I'm using version 18 beta and, for the first time in a long time, I am trying to utilize the projection space via an AVGC1 offset procedure.  The average offsets but it blanks at the current bar and does not plot into the projection space.  

I have looked at an Ichimoku plot in this version and it plots into the space.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You aren't doing anything wrong. I think the Ichimoku plot is the only indicator which goes into the projection space. Everything else that goes into the projection space would be related to trading or drawing tools.

Thanks for the response.

On a different subject; do you have a cunning way to mask the path of an indicator up to a certain point?  For example, using a trivial case, if I plot "c" with a 1 period average which I offset forward by 10 bars, I will get a continuous plot.  What I would like to do is just show a single data point at the current bar which is C10 (without all the clutter on the rest of the chart).  I know I can plot the line as dots, but is there a way to only show the last dot?

Thanks for your help.

The closest thing would be the relatively new "Last Value as Horizontal" Plot Style.

You could force an indicator to have a certain amount of data to calculate.

C10 + C499 - C499

But while each time frame starts each trading day with 500 bars of data available, new bars will be added throughout the trading day if applicable. So in intrday time frames for example, you would start getting more dots as the trading day progresses.

Thanks Bruce. 

I never would have come up with the forcing the lenth of data idea.  I can see several ways to make these ideas work. 

You saved me a lot of time and frustration.
