Problem creating indicator

[mpe66]

I'm trying to create a Momentum dots indicator but have never done this before. Would appreciate if someone could take a look and see where I went wrong.

The formula is ((High[2]+Low[2]+Close[2])/3 + (High[4]+Low[4]+Close[4])/3 + (High[3]+Low[3]+Close[3])/3)/3;

Thanks,

Mpe

How about:

Mom.Set(((High[2]+Low[2]+Close[2])/3 + (High[4]+Low[4]+Close[4])/3 + (High[3]+Low[3]+Close[3])/3)/3);

Thanks for the reply. Now it compiles without errors but it doesn't plot on my charts. I guess there's still something wrong.

Check your Log tab on your Control Center for some yellow highlighted error.

mpe66,

add the CurrentBar line where shown.


protected override void OnBarUpdate()

{

if (CurrentBar < 5) return;

That would be it RJay, I can see in the picture it needs that. Dan

eDanny and RJay have the right answer for you mpe66. Basically you just need to make sure there are enough bars loaded on your chart before running calculations. On the very first bar of a chart (left-most bar), for example, it wouldn't make sense to access the High of the 3rd bar back because it doesn't exist. Here is a link to a post by Ray that further describes what is happening.
