Custom series

[Cowlick]

I have created a custom series that records the values of the high of upclose bars. I have checked this with prints and it is working correctly. When i try to compare the high of the current bar to the last value recorded on the custom series the custom series prints a different number than is should and the comparison doesnt work. Any ideas? Could it be that the custom series is not recording a value for every bar because the value collected is conditional?

Hello Cowlick,

Thank you for your post.

A custom series should have a value assigned on every bar, as these are meant to be synced to the bars series.

If you are assigning a value only conditionally, this could be the issue. Instead of not assigning a value on a certain bar, instead assign a dummy value like '0'.

Rather than placing a 0 would it be possible to carry the last recorded number in the series forward? Until a new number was recorded.

Hello Cowlick,

Yes, you can simply assign the previous bars value to the current bar.

ex

MySeries[0] = MySeries[1];
