Yes! Thank you, I made a mistake. The plot in the ADX window needed to have it's max bars back setting set to 'user specified'. I saw 50 in the dialog which is what the strategy was referring to, but it was showing some other value from 'auto-detect'. This
snapped everything into line, and explains the printing discrepancy.

Once again, you have my thanks!
