    Depending on what Interval you are loading...
    eSignal will only allow a certain number of 'history' bars to load
    unless you pay a small premium or check your Template settings and set
    it to load more bars.

      I have noticed the candles (the data is there) are there,but the MA doesnt go back to where I wanted.

      also how do you add more data in to chart. I am already paying the 10 $ fees to get historical data.

      thanks for your reply.

        Have you looked at your time template? Try adjusting that to load different amounts of bar data.
        The only time I have experienced an indicator not drawing to the beginning of the bars is if it is restricted
        by the .efs code or it is trying to load/access a lower time frame... you'll have to check the code?

                It worked fine on a 5min EUR AO-FX chart, I loaded 9 months of back data, 80,000 bars, and the indicator was there all the way to the beginning.
                However, I think the problem is that eSignal only store DAILY bars back beyond 2 years... why else would you need smaller data that far back?
