I've had this issue happen before where an indicator will stop plotting and begin to output random numbers and letters to the power language editor output bar. The indicators that are doing this are custom pivot levels and various different indicators for pairs trading.
in the past ive fixed it by recreating all my workspaces from scratch 1 by 1. none of these indicators have any code that would intentionally make them output anything to the output bar especially not purely random data.
tonight FX pivots stopped plotting and began outputting

to the output bar. Those #s have nothing to do with the code anywhere. is this a dll issue somewhere? I can't see how this would be indicator code since they're not even coded to send anything to the output bar and work fine the bulk of the time and work fine again when the workspaces are recreated.

can't help you much without seeing the code.I've had this issue happen before where an indicator will stop plotting and begin to output random numbers and letters to the power language editor output bar.
