Floating-Point Division by Zero Error Message

This message may pop up in MultiCharts and/or portfolio Trader during your study calculation. Floating point error means that there is a division by a zero value in your code. It can be a variable, input, or a function in use that returns zero value. You need to identify this variable/input/function and make sure that the returned value is not zero.

You can use the Print keyword to output the values utilized in the script:

Example

var: vrs(0);

if vrs=0 then raiseruntimeerror("!!!alarm vrs=0");

if vrs<>0 then
	plot1(close/vrs)
else
	plot1(0);
