formula wizard and PercentR

[escti89]

Hello,

I am trying to use the formala wizard to do what seems to be a very simple task, but i keep getting an error.

I open up the formula wizard, and create a new formula called
%R. I add the study "PercentRStudy". I add the line:

vPctR10.getValue(PercentRStudy.PERECENTR) < -80

and get these errors:

Line 38: Parameter Number 1 of Function PercentRStudy.getValue is invalid

Line 38: can't convert PercentRStudy.PERECENTR to an integer.

This is line 38:

vPctR10.getValue(PercentRStudy.PERECENTR) < -80


What is causing these errors?

Thanks,

B

This is a bug in the Formula Wizard which writes
vPctR10.getValue(PercentRStudy.PERECENTR) < -80
instead of
vPctR10.getValue(PercentRStudy.PERCENTR) < -80

Thanks Alexis,

I have another question:

I am trying to use the Alert.AddtoList function in the formula wizard editor; however, alerts do not pop up on the Triggered Alert List, even when I do a simple test like if close > high
then Alert.AddtoList.


Cheers,

First thing click on Tools->EFS->Alert List in the main menu and when the Triggered Alert List window opens right click it and check that it is set to Popup on Alert
If that is set correctly then post the code you have and I or someone else will take a look at it. However do consider that Close is never greater than High on the same bar.

Yes, you are correct, close will never be greater than high...I meant close > open.

Yes, I have the Triggered Alert List open, and Popup on Alert checked.

Here are the code pieces from the Wizard:

if (
close() > open()
) onAction1();

function onAction1() {
Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "UPbar", Color.RGB(0,255,0), Color.RGB(255,255,255));
vLastAlert = 1;
}

It appears to be working fine at my end (see image below) so there may be something else in the efs. Can you post the whole script or attach the efs to your reply.
Alex

[escti89]

Sure,

Attached is the efs file given by the formula wizard.

Alexis,

As soon as I went to Tools-> EFS -> Settings

then under perfomance, I unchecked

"Make all formulas compute on close (rather than tick-by-tick)

It started displaying the alerts.

Is this a bug?

Thanks,

It would appear to be the case. For the time being leave the setting unchecked as there are other ways to set an efs to compute on close only
