Chart Updates with offsetSeries

[AssetHound]

if(Symbol == null) {Symbol = getSymbol();}
if(Interval == null) {Interval = getInterval();}
var vSymbol = Symbol+","+Interval;
xMA1 = offsetSeries(eval(Type)(Length1,eval(Source)(sym(v Symbol))),Offset);

In the above, all of the parameters are passed into main from the functional parameters in premain. This works fine when offset=0. When offset is a negative number, the chart does not update. My return statement uses xMA1.getValue(0).

I searched the forum but couldn't find any specifics. Any ideas about this problem are appreciated Thanks.

When using a negative offset the plot can be updated by the efs engine only if you are returning a series and not a value.
If for any reason you want/need to return a value then you need to update the plot yourself using the setBar() function. If you run a search for negative offset you will find several threads on the subject that will provide you with examples on how to do it.
