Market Analyzer - not showing programmed signal

[stearno]

Basically, my end goal is I want to see on the Market Analyzer screen when there has been a divergence on one of the pairs with the last x number of bars.

Step 1: I have a custom indicator. It draws divergence on the chart's bars and on the indicator at the bottom. The indicator also will plot AuxB a 1.0 if there is a buy divergence and mark another plot AuxS with a 1.0 if there is a sell divergence. It will plot this 1 or 0 for x number of bars after the divergence. So in other words, it will have AuxS plotted as a 1.0 for 6 bars after the divergence occurs. I did this so that I can use this for the MA column conditions.

Step 2: I have on the Market Analyzer a column that points to AuxB of this indicator. I set a condition saying that if AuxB is = to 1, then put in field "Buy Div" and make the background green. If AuxB is = to 0, then white background with "No Div" in the field. Reverse is true with AxuS plot as well.

But it is not working as thought. As seen in the attached, I have divergence on the chart. The plot is showing AuxS = 1.0. But when I go to the Market Analyzer, it shows No Div. I have included my actual Column Settings in the attached as well.

What am I doing wrong? I appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Stearno, thanks for the post.

Usually this difference is seen when either you would not have enough bars loaded on the MA column to calculate or if the session template was incorrectly set for the MA (comparing to the chart). You could check this by right clicking in your MA > Properties.

I checked both your ponts:
1. Session Templates - they both were set to <Use Instrument Templates>. I changed them both to Default 24/7. There was no change. (As seen in the attached)
2. The signal should only require 30 bars, but I tried your idea and set the # of bars to look back to 200 on the MA's colomn.

The same resutls as seen in the attached. What else can I do to fix this?

Is there an issue with double vs int? The indicator is plotting 1.0 and MA colomn forces me to enter the data as 1. Could that be it? If so, how do I fix that?

Thanks,

Stearno, both double or int would be fine. The MA uses false per default for the CalculateOnBarClose, what have you set to use on the chart for the indicator, would that make a difference?

Bertrand,
I changed the MA to do on bar close as well, it did not make a difference. (as seen in the attached) I also changed it to false on both but it still did not show anything on the Market Analyzer.

Okay, so list of what tried so far:
1. Calc on Bar close
2. Condition rule of =1, >=1, and >0.
3. Increased the number of bars to load / lookback to 200 from 50.
4. Make sure session templates are the same.

The above did not work. What else can I do to get this fixed?
