Negative offsets in efs MA's

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a study that I have created that uses the MAStudy() function.

I have used a negative offset:

MAStudy(5, -3, "Close", MAStudy.WEIGHTED);

In my efs script. When I run it through the backtester it works great but when I use it as a sutdy in my day to day operations it returns null?

Anyone know if this is a bug or not? I have been using a negative offset MA for some time but am just now using it in a study.


Thanks,

Jon

Jon,

You will need at least MA length + offset bars before you get non-null results

Just put a check in for a return of NULL and if you get it, just return. I suspect this is your problem.
