Mathematical Error

[mbuta]

Hi,

Can anybody help me understand why the attached EFS returns zero when Stochastic is 20?
[Use NQ, 5min, and check 12/17 @ 8:30am PST, to reproduce].

Thank you,

Other than the fact that the label is showing only 2 decimals (of which the efs has no control) the math appears to be correct.
In the top indicator pane I am plotting only vDS and in the bottom I am plotting the equation from your return statement. In blue is the result of the expression written using drawTextRelative

Alex,

Thank you for your prompt response.
I do fget correct returns all the time, except when stoch is 20, exactly and when the return should be [-1], but returns [-0].

Please disregard this thread.
Apparently I had a bad tick in the chart I was working with. I tried to reproduce and cannot.

Sorry, for being stupid.

I see that the Cursor Window is reporting -0. Internally though the efs is calculating correctly (see attached image)

Here is an interim solution.
Add a null check for vDS then in the return use
return (vDS.toFixed(2) - 50)/30;
This should return the correct value also to the Cursor Window
