problem with dataseries... I think

[coolmoss]

Hello,

I"m not at all a "good" coder, but have had some success using dataseries in the past. The script code below doesn't work (doesn't paint anything in pane, just blank). I did some debugging (commenting out things one at a time) and it seems that the problem stems from when the code tries to access myDataSeries[1]. When the code calls for myDataSeries[0], it seems ok.

Here is the code:

myValue = EMA(Typical,period)[0];
myDataSeries.Set(myValue);

myValue1 = 2*(myDataSeries[0]-myDataSeries[1])/(myDataSeries[0]+myDataSeries[1]);
myDataSeries2.Set(myValue1);
Plot0.Set(100*EMA(myDataSeries2,3)[0]);

And yes, I have the proper variables declared and the dataseries initialized in the proper place. Any ideas? I'm hoping I've done something really stupid

Thanks much for any help!

Isn't this what you want as the last statement

Value.Set(100*EMA(myDataSeries2,3)[0]);

Hello and thanks for your help.

I don't think that's what I want, but I can tell you during debugging, I just commented out my last line (with the Plot0) in it and instead just had Plot0.Set(High[0]). Even that didn't work. If I remove all reference to myDataSeries[1] and replace it with something trivial, then the indicator will plot.

Do you have on top of BarUpdate() something like:
if (CurrentBar < Period) return; ?

no I do not, I'll give that a try, thanks.

S W E E T!!!

Thank you both for your help. Testing for enough bars present seems to have done the trick.
