Can anyone tell me what this is and how it can be fixed?

Thanks a lot!

Guess you haven't been using the platform very long?

Go to Format Indicator ---> General tab down in middle:

Maximum number of bars study will reference: and either select

- Auto-Detect
- or a number greater than what your indicator needs plus at least 10 more.

So if you are using a basic moving average (I suggest don't haha) with a length of 9, make bars back at least 19. The greater the bars needed the greater allowance over I would go. Or just use Auto-Detect.

Post your code, and someone can help. It may be an error embedded in a function, not always easy to find, sometimes really easy...

Seems like this strategy, with default settings, takes 0 trades or (in the case I ran) 1 trade that never closed.

So, change the last section of code to:

If LastBarOnChart Then Begin
ExpVar = BarNo;
TotProf=0;
If TotalTrades>0 then TotProf = TotProf / Totaltrades;
//TotProf = TotProf / Totaltrades;
TradeStr1 = Leftstr(Getsymbolname, 2) + "," + Numtostr(ExpVar, 2) + "," + Numtostr(TotProf*100, 2) + "," + Newline;
Fileappend("C:\Temp\BJ.cvs", TradeStr1);
End;



And it will work. But, now the issue is why is it not generating trades. That is something you'll have to figure out...
