Relative price indicator

[markus1000]

i want to compare the current price to the price of yesterday at a specific time. If the condition is satisfied, i should see 1 or 2 in the strategy analyzer. Seems like im missing something.

     protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
            // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
          
                DateTime myDateTime = new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[1].Day, 8, 30, 0);
           
int myBarsAgo = GetBar(myDateTime);            
            
            
            if ( Close[myBarsAgo] > Close[0])
                

           
 
                
            {zone =1;}
   
           
else if ( Close[myBarsAgo] < Close[0])
                
            {zone =2;}    
                
                
                
            Plot0.Set(zone);
        }

Hello Markus1000,

Thank you for your note.

Do you see any errors in the log tab of the Control Center?

Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method for indicator 'GapZoneGold' on bar 0: Bar index needs to be greater/equal 0

Hello Markus1000,

Please ensure that you incorporate a CurrentBar check into your OnBarUpdate() so that your script has enough data before calculating.

example:
if(CurrentBar < myBarsAgo)
return;

The reference sample below will explain in further detail as well -

i still get the same message in the console, even after adding adding

if(CurrentBar < myBarsAgo)
return;

Markus,

Try using
if(CurrentBar < 1) return; at the beginning of the OnBarUpdate()
