Loop with variable period, why it doesn't work ?

[After]

Hello !

I can't make work this code :

if (X) {
Depart = CurrentBar;
}

PPP = CurrentBar-Depart;
		
			
total=0;
for (int v=0; v<=PPP; v++) {
	total = ROT[v] + total;
}

If I run this, the indicator doesn't work. If I replace in the loop "PPP" by a fixed number (for example 10) it works. Why ? How can I do ?

Thanks a lot !

Hello After,

If you print the value of PPP after setting it, what is the value of PPP?

Is X true when PPP is set? (That would be CurrentBar-CurrentBar which = 0)

Thanks Chelsea !

Here you can find the value of PPP.
Yeah X can be true while PPP is running of course.
And even with this code it doesn't work

			if (X) {
				Depart = CurrentBar;
			}
			PPP = CurrentBar-Depart;
		    
			if (PPP<1){
				PPP=1;
			}
			
			total=0;
		    for (int v=0; v<=PPP; v++) {
				total = ROT[v] + total;
			}

Hello After,

I am suggesting you use prints to debug your code. Also, your code has changed since your previous post.

With your previous post, if X is true, then PPP will equal 0. In the last post if X is true then PPP will equal 1.

if (X) {
Depart = CurrentBar;
}
PPP = CurrentBar-Depart;
Print(Time[0]+" - PPP: "+PPP.ToString()); 
if (PPP<1){
PPP=1;
}

total=0;
for (int v=0; v<=PPP; v++) {
Print(Time[0]+" - v: "+v+" - ROT[v]: "+RoT[v].ToString());
total = ROT[v] + total;
}

Please post the output this prints from the Output window.

"I am suggesting you use prints to debug your code. Also, your code has changed since your previous post."

Yeah you're right sorry. I posted few new lines to show you the problem isn't "X is true while PPP is running"

I got this :

"20/02/2014 10:42:00 - PPP: 1001
This is a message
Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method for indicator 'HUSKYFINAL2' on bar 1001: barsAgo needed to be between 0 and 255 but was 256"

Hi After,

Looks like the issue is the Maximum Bars Lookback.

Try adding:

MaximumBarsLookBack = MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite;

To Initialize()
