Using "Cross Over" with "Time" [SOLVED]

wilkinsw · Postby **wilkinsw** » 20 Oct 2014

inputs:t1(100),t2(200);



if time crosses over t1 then

value1=1 else value1=0;



if time crosses over t2 then

value2=1 else value2=0;



plot1(value1);



plot2(value2);

The above code does not generate expected behaviour. Sometimes Values1/2 will flag the cross over of input times and other times not.

The following code seems to correctly flag everytime input time is crossed over:

Code: Select all

inputs:t1(100);



if time crosses over t1 then

value1=1 else value1=0;



plot1(value1);

So it seems like flagging two seperate time cross overs in the same indicator doesn't function as expected.

Why is this?

Many thanks.

Hello wilkinsw,

Please make sure there are bars closing at 1:00 and 2:00 respectively on your chart.

I have Henry.

This behaviour also takes place in TS. I've only just discovered it but don't understand why it happens.

Copy and paste my code above and you'll see what I'm talking about (hopefully).

(plot a eurofx 60min chart and use 0200 and 0500 as the inputs..... you'll see that, in this example, that only the 0200 cross overs get flagged)

The fact I don't understand why using the term "cross over" with time generates unexpected behaviour means that there is something rather significant that I don't and need to understand.

What makes it even stranger is that the code placed in a strategy (vs an indicator) seems to work fine.

We were unable to replicate this behavior on our end. Please send us (support@multicharts.com) the following information for further analysis:
- workspace you are using;
- in QuoteManager select the symbol you are using, make a right click on it->Export data->Export instrument (with data). Send us the QMD export file;
- in PowerLanguage editor->File->Export->Export with dependent functions the study you are using for replicating this behavior; send us the pla file;
- specify the version and build number of MultiCharts you are running (in MultiCharts go to Help tab-> About);
- attach full-sized screenshots demonstrating the error.

If the file size is >10 mb please upload it to any file sharing hosting and send me the download link.

I sent you all the requested info.

I've just repeated the tests I sent you on an MC9 demo I have. The behaviour is as expected in MC9 from what I can see.

So it seems to be only an issue with pre MC9 versions.

We have verified that the issue is fixed in MultiCharts 9.0 Release.
