Sorry if this sounds completely stupid, but I have this simple line of code in a new strategy:
It's just a basic line to test the functionality and confirm that the numbers are all right. Thing is, they're not. Firstly, no dots appear, even though plenty of bars have a K value higher than 90. And the Output Window displays a variety of Stoch values, but none of them match the actual bars, and several of them are above 90. So somewhere on the chart, I should see some dots, but I do not. 90 days of data and not one dot. If I change the condition to be > 20, then pretty much every bar shows a dot, even those that do not meet the condition (i.e., a Stoch K value of, say, 15). Doesn't make sense, but the strategy is somehow getting/using Stochastic information that's different than the Stochastic values that are being displayed on the chart and in the Data Box.
What am I doing wrong? I've written dozens of strategies, all using exactly this same syntax (I swear some of them had Stochastics in them), and they've worked great. If I replace Stochastics in this strategy with any other indicator, everything checks out and matches up, and dots are painted exactly where they should be. There aren't any date-related issues, as this CL 02-14 chart is the only one I have open. It's not a sequence issue, as none of the consecutive values that show up in the Output Window match up with any of the consecutive bars on the chart in any combination at any point in time. This problem occurs whether I use the wizard or code it manually, and it happens the same whether it's a minute, range or Renko chart.
Thanks in advance,
Gary
Code:
if
(Stochastics(7, 14, 3).K[0] > 90)
{
DrawDot("Dot"+CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, High[0] + (TickSize * 4), Color.Red);
Print ("Stoch: ");
Print (Stochastics(7,14,3).K[0]);
}
