The Custom Quote indicator plots the value of a specified numeric quote field for a specified symbol.  Since quote fields do not provide historical values, a chart will only show updated values from the initial plotted value going forward.

Only quote fields containing numeric values will be plotted by this indicator (string, boolean, and date time quote values are not supported).
