How to Condition an Indicator reading that post "n/a" as result

[DTSSTS]

Is there a way with some indicators that post a value like 125.42 and you can condition for example: Close[0] > IndicatorX or IndicatorX > 0

HOW DO YOU SAY IndicatorX is equal to n/a which is basically null is suppose

Thanks

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your post.

I understand that you would like to create a condition in a strategy that compares an indicator to a numeric value or price value.

You could set up a condition in the Conditions and Actions screen of the Strategy Builder and click the 'View code' button to view the syntax that makes up that condition.

For example, you could set up a condition that checks if the current Close[0] price is greater than an indicator. You could also create a condition that checks if the indicator is greater than 0. Or, you could create a condition that checks if the indicator is equal to 0 (null).

SO n/a would be indicatorX = 0

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your note.

You would not be able to check specifically if an indicator value is n/a, this typically means 'not available' meaning there is no value available.

That said, null typically means a value of 0. So you could check if the indicator is equal to 0 (indicatorX == 0) if that suits your use case.
