Custom indicator not returning expected values

[CSharpTrader]

Hi... I wrote a custom indicator that I want to use to trigger alerts from Market Analyzer. I have it coded to return 1 if true, 0 if false. As it is now, the column in MA is just showing the last price, not 0 or 1. The on bar update method is below, and I attached a screen shot of the MA settings. Any help would be appreciated..

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if(CurrentBar<85)
            {
                return;
            }
            else
            {
                if((Close[0]>EMA(50)[0])&&
                   (ToTime(Time[0])<= 140000)&&
                   (Close[0]>Open[0])&&
                   (Volume[0]>=(EMA(Volume,10)[1]))&&
                   (Close[0]>(MAX(High,10)[1]))&&
                   (Slope(EMA(50),11,1)<0)&&
                   (CrossAbove(EMA(10),EMA(20),20))&&
                   (CountIf(delegate {return Close[0]>EMA(20)[0];},10)>4)&&
                   (CountIf(delegate {return (SMA(10)[0]<EMA(20)[0])&&(EMA(20)[0]<EMA(50)[0]);},30)>9)&&
                   (CountIf(delegate {return Low[0]>EMA(50)[0];},10)<3)&&
                   (!(Math.Abs((Slope(EMA(20),7,0)-Slope(EMA(50),7,0))/Slope(EMA(50),10,0))<.05)))
                {
                   Plot0.Set(1);
                }
                else
                {
                   Plot0.Set(0);
                }
            }
        }

Hello CSharpTrader,
Thanks for your post.

CurrentBar is 0 (zero) based, thus you need to increase the "#no of bars to lookback" to 87, if you are using CalculateOnBarClose == ture or to 86 is you are using CalculateOnBarClose == false.

Thanks much. I'm just curious though, help me understand... I get that it's 0 based, that being the case, wouldn't it just need to be 86 for on bar close? Also, why does on bar open need a different number? Thanks again..

Hello CSharpTrader,
When Calculate On Bar Close is set to true, then the running bar is not taken into consideration. Thus you have to add a bar more.
