No results in NT indicator if "close[>1]" close larger than [1]

I want to write an indicator (EOD base used) with the following content:

if (Close[0] < Close[5]
&& Close[0] > SMA(50)[0])

Plot0.Set(1);

My problem is the "close[5]". I get permanent no result. If I change the "close[5]" into "close[1]" can I see correct results. I think anywhere is a problem with the loaded day data. Anybody out there who knows a solution?

Thanks Mike

Most likely you are missing something like:

if (CurrentBar < 5) return;

at the top of your OnBarUpdate.

This would be more obvious if you examined the log error tab.

With current bar <5 you would have been getting an Index Out of Range error that would have crashed the indicator since for those bars, Close[5] does not exist. That's why rejecting bars prior to bar number 5 fixed the problem.

Hallo Big Mike,

thanks for your quick reply. I wrote a short code that display me the closeprice 5 days ago. The result was correct. Tomorrow will I update my screencode and test. One last question: Where can I open the "log error tab"?

Good evening from Germany
