Market Analyzer breaks indie that references another indie?

[forrestang]

Howdy.

So I created a custom script that has plots, that I will use to output to the Market Analyzer to monitor various values.

For example, this indicator simply outputs the ADR, and the current day's range, and then the percentage of the current days range. To show a visual example, attached is a chart of the indicator I created, where you can see the plots working.

So the way I built this indicator... is that I REFERENCE, another indicator that already has calculated the ADR.

And that is where my indicator breaks when I try to run it in the analyzer. The line of code that breaks it is this:

if( IsFirstTickOfBar && Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession ) //ETH Open
{
    varADR = ADRwStartBarOutput( StartHours, Period ).AdrPerBar[0];
}

Here, I am simply capturing the ADR on the first bar of the day, and storing it. This WORKS for simply creating the indicator, as you can see it works when I put it on a chart... but it breaks in the analyzer.

So I'm wondering, if there is anything special I need to do... for an indicator that outputs PLOTS to be grabbed by the market analyzer, that references another indicator?

I can manually build the indicator so that it doesn't reference anything, but I'd prefer not to have to do that.

Thanks!

Hello forrestang,

You mentioned you set this on the first tick of the bar, because the analyzer is a realtime tool that won't work, you would have to set a constant plot value for the market analyzer to use the value. it will otherwise report the value for only 1 tick, the rest of the ticks will be blank.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

I don't think that is the issue? Unless I am misunderstanding what you are saying... As you can see from the image, the plot does get assigned a constant value. That value is only assigned/updated once at the start of the session, stored into the variable "varADR," and then the plot gets its value from that variable via, "MyADR[0] =varADR;" where 'MyADR' is the plot value.

Hello forrestang,

Thanks for clarifying. Yes in that case you would likely need to debug the script further to see why it may not be working.

The code you have shown does not hint at anything specific which may be incorrect.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
