Array Error

I'm receiving the following error message when inserting my new signal:

Error in study...Array Bounds. Wrong Index Value: 4.

How do I read this error (specifically 'Wrong Index Value:4')?

Is there a simple way to find the source of these errors (I have quite a few arrays)?

Thank you.

Clear multidimensional array

Hello-

Is there a way to clear/modify a multidimensional array similar to what fill_array does for single-dimensional arrays? I know I can write code to do this, but wanted to see if there was a similar keyword that I can use to perform this task.

TY,

Push values in Array

Hello- I'm looking for a keyword/function like fill_array(array1,0) , to force an array [1 dimension] to push values forward, i.e. array1[1] = array1[0], array1[2] = array1[1]........etc. Is there a keyword or pre-built function that does this? I'm currently pushing values forward by using a counter...

Hello-

2 questions: Does setprofittarget work with backtesting? Do I have to set intrabarordergeneration to true in order for setprofittarget to work?

Re: No Print output for earlier dates

Thank you Polly, I'll check on the max bars back input. I notice that with strategies, MBB is a global input that needs to be manually set, whereas it can be individually set (and Auto-Detect) in the indicator properties. Why is that?

Declaring a boolean variable [SOLVED]

Hello-

I know that a standard multi-timeframe variable is declared as:

Var1 (0),
Var2 (0, data2);

Do we declare boolean variables for multiple timeframes the same way:

var3(false),
var4(false, data2); ?

It seems simple, but I'm not really sure of the answer to this.

Thank you,

Re: Indicator Signal not plotting

Thank you TJ. Apologize for not understanding your logic here: 1. What setting are you referring to? 2. The procedure should be run on the last tick of the bar - and plotted as it has for roughly 49 of 50 signals. I could accept this if I didn't have proof of the signals being plotted correctly. 3. ...

Re: Multiple timeframes - Weird indicator issue

Again, the plot is totally correct, there's nothing wrong with the indicator's calculations. I'm only inquiring about why the color of the plots only prints when aligned with data1. I'm happy with the calculations, but not the colors that don't print.
