It sounds as though you have some calculations that take a long time to initialize, even though they do not require a large number of bars back. A very long exponential moving average would do this, for example. You are assuming the 20 day values are correct - it could be that the 3 month values are correct.
Try adding Print/MessageLog statements to output the key values in the System on various bars. Do not assume that values plotted from an indicator using the same code will plot the values in the system code. Various things such as different MaxBarsBack settings can make indicators plot different values than those in the system.
