Hi, I have been trying to code an indicator but for some reason this error message keeps popping up when I try to compile it. It seems to say that there is a string length overflow, however im not using any strings in the study. How do I fix this? Kind regards, Server: https://build3.sierrachart.com The remote build is complete. The build failed.

In the Trading System Based on Alert Condition source code, there is a section of code like this and needs to be changed as follows: if (FormulaResult == r_PriorFormulaState)
{ TradeNotAllowedReason = "Formula state has not changed. Current state: "; if (FormulaResult != 0) TradeNotAllowedReason += "True"; else TradeNotAllowedReason += "False"; StateHasChanged = false; } Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
