Accessing an Index out of range

[CheetaFish]

Here is the code I am trying to convert.

if ((SMA(100) [0] < SMA(200) [0]) && (SMA(100) [0] > SMA(100) [1]) && (EMA(13) [0] > EMA(13) [1]))

When I use [1] it works fine. But I want to compare with [5]

As soon as I replace [1] with [5], then I get ....

Error on calling OnBarUpdate method on bar 0. You are accessing an index with a value that is invalid since it is out-of-range

How do I get passed this?

I had the same problem with LinReg using CrossAbove and CrossBelow.

Hello CheetaFish,

Are you checking there is at least 5 bars?

if (CurrentBar < 5)
return;


or

if (CurrentBar > 5)
{
// execute code
}
