issue with series object

[nagesh789]

I have the following code and trying to initialize series object based on certain conditions as below.

Print("Next Trend before if" + NextTrend[0]);
if (NextTrend[0] == 0)
{
HighMin = Math.Min(HighMin, HighestHigh);
if (Close[0] > High[1])
{
Print("Next Trend before" + NextTrend[0]);
Trend[0] = 0;
//the Nextrend[0] is reset to zero for somereason on next barupdate
NextTrend[0] = 1;
Print("Next Trend after" + NextTrend[0]);
LowMax = LowestLow;
}
}
In the beginning of BarUpdate NextTrend[0] is "0" which is good and it goes inside the if condition and NextTrend[0] is assigned "1", however in the next barupdate call, NextTrend[0] is reset to "0". i confirmed it with print statetments as above..

This line is always zero "Print("Next Trend before if" + NextTrend[0]);"

Thanks for the help in advance

Hello nagesh789,

Thank you for your post.

I'm not following exactly what you mean by "in the next barupdate call" - are you referring to the print immediately after assigning NextTrend[0] = 1 then the print Print("Next Trend after" + NextTrend[0]); is output as "Next Trend after0" or something else?

A custom series holds the same number of values as there are bars in the input series. If the current bar [0] is set to one value, as soon as a new bar begins to form that value then becomes 1 bar ago [1] rather than the current bar [0]. Also, do you have a series called Trend as well? Please provide a reduced sample script that results in the prints you are referring to so I may test on my end and better understand your inquiry. You may export the script via Control Center > Tools > Export > NinjaScript AddOn then attach the .zip file that is generated to your forum reply.

I look forward to your reply.

Thanks for a quick reply.

attached is the sample code with prints. So looks like i have to use NextTrend[1] in the series but not the current bar.

I will wait for your reply. I have included the entire logic.

Thanks
