Indicator Values on Chart vs Market Analyzer

[peteM]

Hello,

I've created a custom indicator. When I display it on a chart, I get proper values. When I display it in a Market Analyzer or call on it from a Strategy, the value returns 0.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Pete

Hello,

This typically occurs when there aren't enough bars loaded or the wrong CalculateOnBarClose setting is used.

In the market analyzer if you increase the bars to load to match that of your chart, does it work?

Also be sure to check the output window for error messages (tools -> Output Window)

Let me know if I can further assist.

Lance,

Thanks for your help. This worked on the Market Analyzer but not for the strategy. I made sure the strategy is looking back as many bars as is needed.

I print the value on entry and exit; on entry it prints 0, on exit it prints the value.

If that's not odd enough, I didn't have any of these problems all through December on the same indicator and strategy.

Any suggestions?

Are you able to post the indicator or simplified version of the script that replicates the issue?

If you increase BarsRequired on the strategy does this resolve the issue?
