    OnStateChange Error

    I'm getting the following error when trying to run a backtest:
    Error on calling 'OnStateChange' method: You are accessing an index with a value that is invalid since it is out-of-range. I.E. accessing a series [barsAgo] with a value of 5 when there are only 4 bars on the chart.

    The Strategy using what the ATR was on the previous bar (BarsAgo = 1) to determine Target and Stop orders.
    It also is looking at the close of 2 Bars ago and comparing to the close of the previous bar (BarsAgo = 1).

    Minimum bars to trade is set to 20, which should be/ is fine, as ATR period is set below that. Tried multiple values, that doesn't seem to be the culprit.

    Hello 963robo,

    Thanks for your post.

    This error message indicates that you are trying to access a BarsAgo value that is not valid. A more simple example using one series would be on bar 5 you check for 6 BarsAgo. There are not yet 6 bars so the CurrentBar minus 6 would be a negative number or a non-existent bar.

    A CurrentBar check could be used in your indicator's logic to ensure that a certain number of bars have processed before the indicator begins calculation.​

    See the help guide documentation below for more information.
