Try this. Not guaranteed!

Call a procedure that gets rid of all the existing DataSeries and Plot objects by using the Dispose() method, then calls the Initialize() and OnStartUp() (if used) procedures.

Code

private void ResetIndicator()
{
     if(DataSeries1   != null) DataSeries1.Dispose();  // Dispose of all DataSeries objects other than Plots
     if(Values[0]     != null) Values[0].Dispose();       //  Dispose of all Plots

     Initialize();
     OnStartUp()   // only if indicator has an OnStartUp procedure
}

Thanks @Zondor, assuming this method works, do you know if the indicator will run again through (what I actually need) all the history bars like in "reload ninja script? Or it goes directly to the current bar?

My guess is that if the method I suggested does work, the historical bars will reload. Need to try it and see what happens.
