Inconsistency with "Bars.FullSymbolData.Count" and/or "Bars.FullSymbolData.Current" [SOLVED]

Jobauma · Postby **Jobauma** » 18 Feb 2019

Hi.

I use "Bars.FullSymbolData.Count" and "Bars.FullSymbolData.Current" to make a set amount of bars ( regardless of " Bars Back" ), like this.

Code: Select all


int NumberOfBars = 144;



if ( Bars.FullSymbolData.Current > Bars.FullSymbolData.Count - NumberOfBars )

{

   // [CODE]

}

Opening charts for the 1st time works fine ( almost always ). But when doing something like reloading, or jumping back for playback, these two properties doesn't seem to be accurate, in relation to each other.

It's usually that "NumberOfBars" becomes something less than "144".

Can this be fixed?

Best regards,

Hi.

It isn't something wrong with the code.

Changing the code to this ( with a zero instead )...

Code: Select all


if ( Bars.FullSymbolData.Current > 0 )

{

   // CODE

}

...makes it work. I can still have only 34 plots back by reseting, but it's a heavy indicator, so it takes some time to load.

I'm using it to decide when the calculation of the indicator starts, then I'm reseting the plots to something even less.

Steps to reproduce the issue is to reload the chart ("Ctrl+R"), changing an input in the indicator, or jump back for playback.

Something else is that I'm sometimes using this concept like this:

Code: Select all


int StartCalcBarsBack = 144;



if ( Bars.FullSymbolData.Current > Bars.FullSymbolData.Count - ( StartCalcBarsBack + 34 ) )

{

   // CODE



   if ( Bars.FullSymbolData.Current > Bars.FullSymbolData.Count - StartCalcBarsBack )

   {

      // CODE

   }

}

I think I'm going to stop using this solution, until it is solved.

Sometimes the indicator doesn't load anything at all, but it works the 1st time the indicator loads. This is strange.

Hi.

I'm sincerely sorry!

It was something in the code that prevented (locked) the indicator to plot other things ( at a certain point ). This should be fixed. I can tell you that it was a grid ( with trendlines ) that did something when one of the values was equal to zero ( based on extremes of zigzag and bars back of that extreme ).

It is strange that everything worked fine on the 1st load, but not when refreshing the indicator, etc.

Hi Jobauma, this seems very cryptic to me as the details in your posts are a bit thin, but I’ve had an issue where an indicator loaded correctly initially only to fail on refresh and it was because I hadn’t declared initial values in StartCalc().

Hi, darob.

I tried to do something in "StartCalc", but I couldn't make it work. The part of the zigzag code works like this:

Code: Select all


public void ZigzagCountExtremeBarsBack( out int ExtremeBarsBack, double Extreme )

{

	int I = 0;

	bool Done = false;



	ExtremeBarsBack = 0;







	while (!Done)

	{

		if ( m_Zigzag_Price[I] != Extreme )

			ExtremeBarsBack++;

		else Done = true;







		I++;

	}

}

This method counts back and finds the last extreme, if there are similar extremes, and not the first one of those. The value of the extreme itself is based on the first it finds, regardless of coming extremes that are similar.

The "doubles" and "ints" I use for "ExtremeBarsBack" when the extreme is confirmed ( price has moved beyond the limit in opposite direction ):

Code: Select all


// 1st, 2nd and 3rd Extreme:



m_Zigzag_pr2Extreme = m_Zigzag_preExtreme;

m_Zigzag_preExtreme = m_curZigzag_Extreme;

// m_Zigzag_curExtreme = m_Zigzag_New_High[1];   // OR

// m_Zigzag_curExtreme = m_Zigzag_New_Low[1];



// " New High " has been reset to " New Low ", and " New Low " to " New High ",

// to find new highs and lows. Thus "[1]". " if ( m_Zigzag_Price[0] > m_Zigzag_New_High[0] ) " /

// " if ( m_Zigzag_Price[0] < m_Zigzag_New_Low[0] ) "







// Count Current/Previous Extreme Bars Back:



// Whole Span + Setback:

ZigzagCountExtremeBarsBack( out m_Zigzag_WholeSpan, m_Zigzag_preExtreme );



// Setback: The wave has moved in opposite direction, and is confirmed:

ZigzagCountExtremeBarsBack( out m_Zigzag_Setback, m_Zigzag_curExtreme );



// Actual Whole Span ( Whole Span without Setback ):

m_Zigzag_WholeSpan = m_Zigzag_WholeSpan - m_Zigzag_Setback;

The solution to my problem was to wrap the grid code inside " if ( m_Zigzag_preExtreme != 0 ) ".

I've set "m_Zigzag_curExtreme", "m_Zigzag_preExtreme" and "m_Zigzag_pr2Extreme" to "0" in "StartCalc".

've set "m_Zigzag_curExtreme", "m_Zigzag_preExtreme" and "m_Zigzag_pr2Extreme" to "0" in "StartCalc".

That was what I was getting at, sorry I can't be of further help. Good luck.
