Formula with variable - EA gives up
-
I've been trying to make this work with a longer EA obviously but narrowed it down to this which still doesn't work.
The EA works perfectly for a a few bars but then stops for no reason, I haven't touched anything.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Also if I add a condition afterwards that checks if the variable "result" <1 (for example). I can watch the number as it happens on the chart drop below 1 but it never passes that block.
-
I don't know what happened to be honest. I got similar reports before, but I don't have any evidence that something is wrong with the EA. "Once per tick" is not needed by the way. Do you have some error messages in the log or something?
-
Thanks for your reply, I didn't think of that. Error is shown below.
Does this mean it's trying to divide nothing so throws the error? If I added an adjustment '+1' to the formula could this make it carry out a calculation even when it's trying to divide 0's...

Tried +1..... it didn't work

Ok so I've fixed that problem by adding a condition before the formula that checks the value >0. So that stops it from crashing.
My next issue is when I get a result from the formula, say '0.7' which is then printed as text on the chart. I've then added another condition saying 'if terminal variable "result" <0.8' but it won't pass. I'm using right operand, value is numeric 0.8

No no no no no, not Terminal variables again. Those variables are not those Variables. Terminal variables are something completely different. The short suggestion is - don't use them. To use a Variable in Condition, go to Value -> Numeric (or Text, or whatever), right-click on the field and select the Variable. Again, Terminal variables are NOT the same as those blue Variables.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, thankyou your help is greatly appreciated and all is working.
