Hi I've come across a weird issue. I have a NUMBER input showing a BOOLEAN checkbox when I go to run it in the back tester. It works fine when applied to an advanced chart. Here is a screen cap. I've checked over and over the code. I don't see what would be causing that. I think it may be a genuine bug. Below cap is the code.
PHP Code:
function preMain() {
/**
* This function is called only once, before any of the bars are loaded.
* Place any study or EFS configuration commands here.
*/
// setComputeOnClose(); //Study needs to update on ticks for stop/targets. Enclose in barstatenewbar for onclose funcitons
// Right now script does some loopy stuff at 9:00 on tick replay when this is commented out.. hanis!
setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("Base Strategy BETA 1.96 IB!");
setColorPriceBars(false);
setIntervalsBackfill(true);
setShowTitleParameters(false);
setCursorLabelName("Stop", 0);
setCursorLabelName("Target", 1);
setCursorLabelName("Entry", 2);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.red, 0); // Stop color
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.aqua, 1); // Target color
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.white, 2); // Entry Price
setDefaultBarThickness(2, 0); // Stop Thickness
setDefaultBarThickness(2, 1); // Target Thickness
setDefaultBarThickness(2, 2); // Entry Thickness
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES, 0); // Stop plot type
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES, 1); // Target plot type
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES, 2); // Entry plot type
// SET SOME USEFUL VARIALBES UP
