Getting same error

[vegasfoster]

I keep getting the same error, I read the help but I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Can someone please help, thanks.

I want to plot the high and low for the last 24 bar with an inner high line 20 pips below the high and an inner low line 20 pips above the low. Then I want to create a true false so I can create an alert in market analyzer if any of the following conditions is true,

1. the high of the previous bar crossed the inner high line,
2. the high of the previous bar crossed the high line,
3. the low of the previous bar crossed the inner low line,
4. the low of the previous bar crossed the low line,

5. the high of the previous bar crossed above the inner high line and current bar closes down,
6. the high of the previous bar crossed above the high line and current bar closes down,
7. the low of the previous bar crossed below the inner low line and current bar closes up,
8. the low of the previous bar crossed below the low line and current bar closes up.

1 to 4 are the setup and 5 to 8 is the confirmation.

anyone know a better way to post this crap?

Thanks for any help.

Sorry, 1 to 4 should be the current bar, not prior bar.

Sorry forgot the text file. Thanks.

It works except for the inner high line and the inner low line are not plotting. For these to plot correctly, on line 25 I am trying to make the instrument point value to be a parameter, e.g. 100 for JPY pairs and 10000 for other pairs. The point value is declared as an integer called "iValue" and the formula is using "-(20/iValue)" on line 51 and "+(20/iValue)" on line 53, but it is not plotting the lines. If I hard key "+0.20" and "-0.20", then the lines plot correctly for JPY pairs. If iValue is equal to 100, then I am not sure why "(20/iValue)" would not return "0.20". I would appreciate any help, thanks.

vegasfoster, sorry for the late reply here from us.

Please print out the values you calculate to check if your logic to automatically calculate those hits home as you would expect.

Thanks for getting back to me. So I did that, but the output window is simply showing that it isn't adding or subtracting the "(20/iValue)", it isn't telling me why I can't divide 20 by the parameter that I created and add or substract it to another figure.

I kept searching and finally found the following thread

After changing the 20 to 20.0, it works.

Great it works, probably needed to be double value since you set a double value to plot and also add to a double value...
