is n/a null?

[lookOutBelow]

If an indicator provides a value you can access. Let's say an .Upper[0].

And for a specific moment in time, you are looking at a chart for that indicator, and you right click on it and see "n/a" in the data box for the current bar. Does that mean the value at [0] would be null if called in your strategy?

Thanks

Hello,

Correct N/A would return no or no meaningful value if used in a strategy.

The only time you should se N/A however that I can think off of the top of my head would be the start up time for the indicator.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

The place I'm seeing "n/a" right now is in the Darvas indicator. If there isn't an upper or lower line currently being drawn (in the Darvas case, it is waiting for more data and will repaint the line in the future) on a live chart, it returns a n/a if you right click the chart for the current bar. I tried to do a check to see if the result was null in my strategy, but it wasn't doing what I expected.

Was that the case because I was backtesting and it isn't repainting in the backtest? Will it ever give me a null in a backtest?



Thanks again.

Hello,

It will either be equal to it previous value or 0 in this case if its been reset in this case.

Is this NinjaTrader 6.5 or NinjaTrader 7 as there was changes to multiple plots in NinjaTrader 7.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I'm using version 7.

In this case with this indicator since .Reset() is called the value would be 0. If .Reset() was not called it would just be the previous value.
