Plotted DataSeries N/A

[SammyC]

Hi

Newbie question....
I have a compiled indicator having 2 plotted dataseries for the chart.
When I look at their contents in the databox there is always a N/A for one of the 2 plotted dataseries. The indicator is plotting colors using the dataseries.

When I Print the contents to the output window for both plotted dataseries there are values in both, even though one has an N/A value in the databox. I would like to distinguish which one has the N/A programmatically.

Is it possible to distinguish which one has the N/A and which one has the real value?
Could someone explain what is happening?

Thank you in advance.

Regards

Sammy

Hello Sammy,

Thank you for your post.

I would need to take a look at the code to understand what is occurring. You can check for valid values from a data series by using ContainsValue(): http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ries_class.htm

Thank you Patrick for your quick response.

The DataSeries.ContainsValue(int barsAgo) will work if I have an open source indicator and I am checking the values of the internal dataseries...

In my case, I am working on a compiled indicator. I cannot refer to the dataseries as DataSeries.ContainsValue(int barsAgo)
When I use IndicatorName().UpSeries[0].ContainValues(0) I get a syntax error.

Is there a work around to confirm whether the value of the dataseries is N/A,as shown in the DataBox, when the dataseries is being referenced from a compiled indicator?

Thank you kindly

Sammy

Actually after a whole bunch of fidgeting I managed to get it to work.
Syntax is a follows:

IndicatorName().UpSeries.ContainValues(0)

Thank you for your help!
