Hi @solondon,
Here is a section of the NinjaTrader manual that may help. You are looking to see if the dataseries "ContainsValue", false means N/A (not valid data for the bar, value should always be ignored), true means the data is valid. Not sure how to do it with the Wizard as I hand code but hopefully this helps:

DataSeries Class

Checking for Valid Values
It is possible that you may use a DataSeries object but decide not to set a value for a specific bar. However, you should not try to access a DataSeries value that has not been set. Internally, a dummy value does exists, but you want to check to see if it was a valid value that you set before trying to access it for use in your calculations.

DataSeries.ContainsValue(intbarsAgo)
Returns a true or false value.

Nil per os
