I would say you should use print statements to see the actual values. My guess is what you are plotting on the chart (from an indicator) is not the same as what is in the strategy.
print(date",",",time,",",asxAvg2,",",asxAvg2[1]); //code not checked
Are you 100% positive that both calculations start on the exact same bar? With an indicator the "barsback" is usally autodetected, but you have to set it in a strategy.
This sort of thing will matter if your calculations are dependent on the starting point. I'm guessing AccumSwingIndex is starting point dependent.
That is why I suggested using print statement. Did you try it? What does it say?
I guess I haven't gotten that far in my studies. I don't know how to use a print statement to verify a strategy, or how to set bars back. Thank you for pointing me in a direction.
I removed the strategy and then reapplied it and it worked, so your initial thought that the settings between the indicator and strategy were out of synch must have been correct.
Your prompting helped me learn how to use the Print Log (and associated formatting).
