I am getting an error and I need to find out what is wrong with my MC platform.
I get the following error : " Error in study "Bollinger_Test : : {EXCEPTION} Floating point stack-check.
The study named Bollinger_Test is actually an identical of the default study named Bollinger Bands LE already available in MC.
I need some parts of this study (Bollinger Bands LE) in another study. When I recompile this original study under the new name (Bollinger_Test) keeping everything identical (copy-paste) it will compile without problems but it does not work and gives me the error message given above.
Why is that happening since the original study (Bollinger Bands LE) works fine ?
I guess there is a problem with my MC platform or the compiler ?
One strange thing I noted is that the input strings (see attached pictures) are not the same even if the code is the same...???
I am using : Windows XP Pro, version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.130107-0416 : Service Pack 3) and MC 8.0 release (Build 5620)

Suggestion: Shut down everything, reboot, and try again.

Re: Error in study - Floating point stack check
To show the pictures,I rebooted 3 times with the same results...
Do you know how to make pictures show up in the actual post instead of an attachment ?
thanks TJ.
you have to use the IMG tag located at the top of the message window.
ps. I have edited your post to show the pictures.
ps. please save your screen shots in jpg or png format.

Re: Error in study - Floating point stack check
What do you mean by input strings are not the same?One strange thing I noted is that the input strings (see attached pictures) are not the same even if the code is the same...???
Check the strategy names. Are you applying the correct strategies?
Re: Error in study - Floating point stack check
Yes I am applying the right strategies.
As for the Input String if you look at the last picture I circled it in red its the same code but the input fields enabled don't seem to be identical...
P.S : thanks for the help and tip about picture posting.

Can you be more specific?Yes I am applying the right strategies.

What do you want us to see in the red circle?
What do you expect to see in the red circle?
When you say "don't seem to be identical", what values on which strategy names are you comparing?
Re: Error in study - Floating point stack check
oh ok, i am sorry I will try to explain it better.
The first line the values are : close, close, 20, 2
The second line the values are : high, 20
The signal of the first line Bollinger_Test is not working.
The signal of the second line Bollinger Bands LE is working.
Bollinger_Test and Bollinger Bands LE are exactly the same code.
Bollinger Bands LE which is the second line came pre-compiled with the default MC install.
Bollinger_Test which is the signal of the first line is identical (copy-paste) to the signal of the second line Bollinger Bands LE.
Why these 2 signals don't give the same results if they have the exact same coding ?
Why the first line is not showing the same values as the second line in the red circle if they are the exact same thing ? I am very confused...

Re: Error in study - Floating point stack check
You are right. I am sorry, I posted the wrong picture file I need some sleep...
Here you go :
So now they are exactly the same but still the default code (second line) that came with MC works but not the one I recreated...
Something must be wrong with the compiling process, that is the only possibility that I can see at the moment...

Re: Error in study - Floating point stack check
I have copy-paste, compiled and applied the same code and it works in my computer.
MC 8.0 release (Build 5622)
I would suggest you to contact tech support live chat; they can inspect your system online.

Hello Trader101,So now they are exactly the same but still the default code (second line) that came with MC works but not the one I recreated...

Could you export the signal that you copied (Bollinger_Test) from PowerLanguage Editor as read-only protected file and send it to me (ashuvlenov@multicharts.com)?

Re: Error in study - Floating point stack check
Trader101, it seems there is another GCC (compiler), or for a reason it is not set correctly for compiling scripts in MultiCharts. Please come to our live chat to let our engineers connect to your PC remotely and help you.
