Indicator showing error in NinjaScript Output although indicator is not in the Chart

[artson]

Hi,

I have an indicator which had (now is corrected) a logical error: I defined an array of 20 terms but in the code I was looping for 30 terms.

I didn't have this indicator in any chart, but allways I opened the indicator window of an existing chart, an error appeared in my NinjaScript Output window.

So, it was as if NT were running this "not inserted" indicator and showed the "logical" error.

I corrected the code and then it stopped to show the error.

Is this normal?

Hello artson,

When you open the indicator window all indicators are created to get the defaults. If you were getting an error when opening the window that points to a problem in the indicators OnStateChange override.

Hi, I think I din't express it correctly.

Is it possible, that in a chart, just opening the indicator window in order to insert an indicator, but still not selecting any indicator, the NT shows an error in the Output, because a coded indicator has this error?????

It is clear, that if an indicator has in its code, an array of 20 members, and during the execution I will look up for the position array[21], it will show an error.
This is clear.
But I would understand, that as long as I don't use this "wrong" indicator, no error message should appear.....

But this was not my case.
I had a chart, I opened the indicator window to insert an indicator, and before I selected any, the error messega was already there....

Is this normal?

(I mean, I have corrected my "wrong" indicator and I don't see this error anymore, but to check if this could be a bug....

Hello artson,

I understood the question, yes thats normal. All indicators are created when you open that window. Your indicator had an error in its OnStateChange override.
