[Programming Help] - endlessly growing indicator value

My custom indicator keeps growing for the most recent value... but only when futures are being used as the main chart. I only plan to use it during the regular trading hours, so I have the chart setting times to restrict that. When I run my indicator now, the most recent value, which does not need to update (it is night time now), keeps growing! See attached When I have the index feed IUXX or just a stock like MSFT, the problem does not occur. I can't find whats missing in my code. Anyone experience this? Thanks |

Just tested, it also happens during regular trading hours when my chart settings have new bars coming in within the selected session times.

For anyone who might be searching for this later on... My problem was I was using statements like this... sc.Subgraph[0][BarIndex] += 1.0; For example... for (int BarIndex = sc.UpdateStartIndex; BarIndex < sc.ArraySize; BarIndex++) { if (blahblah > 0) { sc.Subgraph[0][BarIndex] += 1.0; } } My solution was to create a temporary holder for sc.Subgraph[0][BarIndex] and add it after the if statements float temp_sum; for (int BarIndex = sc.UpdateStartIndex; BarIndex < sc.ArraySize; BarIndex++) { if (blahblah > 0) { temp_sum += 1.0; } sc.Subgraph[0][BarIndex] = temp_sum; } Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-11-06 17:26:16
