Correction!!!

Values[0][0] = variable1[li_4];
Values[1][0] = variable2[li_4];

Hello Stanfillirenfro,

Thank you for your note.

After adding prints to the script you shared and testing the indicator, it seems that neither condition in the loop is becoming true. Since neither condition is becoming true, a value is not being set for variable1 and variable2. Also, since variable1 and variable2 are not assigned a value, there is no value being assigned to the plots.

To understand why the script is behaving as it is, such as plotting when expected, it is necessary to add prints to the script that print the values used for the logic of the script to understand how the script is evaluating.

In the indicator, add prints for every variable and condition being used in your script and also print the CurrentBar. This will allow you to see how the conditions in your script are evaluating to determine where the issue is occurring.

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates using prints to understand behavior and including a link to a video recorded using the Strategy Builder.

Hello BrandonH!
Thanks again for your help.
I could make somme improvement since yesterdayy and I have seen at output that my

double val1 = ADX(High, ADXbars)[li_4 - 1];
double val2 = ADX(Low, ADXbars)[li_4 - 1];

identic are. For each incrementation I obtain the same value for val1 and val2, so that the condition could not be true. But I am wondering why both values are identic.
In the documentation we have: double value = ADX(High, 20)[0]; meaning the current value of a 20 period ADX using high price type.
My val1 should be therefore the value at position [li_1 -1] of ADXBars (int) period using high price type, while val2 represents the value at position [li_1 -1] of ADXBars (int) period using Low price type.
What is wrong in my calculation so that val1 and val2 are identic?

Thanks!
