reset not working as expected

[onnb1]

Hello all,

I have a dataseries called LongSignal. I have this code below that resets it.
I was expecting that after reset(), I would be able to do the following:

if (LongSignal[0] == 0)
{

}

but the "if" statement above is not working so I wrote the values to Log.

LongSignal.Reset(0);
Log(LongSignal[0].ToString(), NinjaTrader.Cbi.LogLevel.Information);

I was expecting the print to the log to be "0" but it isn't.

What am I missing?

thanks,
Onn

What do you see printed then Onn, the 'dummy' Close value?

'Calling the Reset() method is unique and can be very powerful for custom indicator development. DataSeries objects can hold dummy values (usually the Input series for the script which generally would be the Close price) which simply means that you do not want to store a value for the current bar. Reset() method allows you to effectively ignore the value of the current bar for plotting purposes. For calculation purposes you will want to use .ContainsValue() to ensure you are not calculating off of any dummy values assigned by the Reset() method.'
