No Value - offsetSeries / getSeries of a variable

[franzmey]

If I use the following code, historical indicator-values are perfect, but at the moment of realtime working, there is only a horizontal line (see pic).

for performance saving, I use setComputeOnClose, intrabar-values are not needed.

function preMain()
{
    setComputeOnClose();
}


function main()
{ 
    return offsetSeries(efsInternal("myCalc2"),2);
} 


function myCalc() {return (sma(8)+sma(3))/2;}
function myCalc2() {return sma(2, efsInternal("myCalc"));}

I would not recommend using setComputeOnClose() regardless of the issue we discussed in another thread
If you are using setComnputeOnClose() to try to make your code more efficient then there are better ways IMHO to accomplish that. See the example enclosed below which is considerably more efficient than the one you posted even if it is not using setComputeOnClose()
Alex

function preMain(){
    //setComputeOnClose();
}
 
var myVar0 = null;
function main(){ 
    if(myVar0==null) myVar0 = offsetSeries(efsInternal("myCalc2"),2);
    return myVar0.getValue(0);
} 
 
var mySMA1 = null;
var mySMA2 = null;
function myCalc(){
    if(mySMA1==null) mySMA1 = sma(8);
    if(mySMA2==null) mySMA2 = sma(3);
    if(mySMA1.getValue(0)==null||mySMA2.getValue(0)==null) return;
    var myVar1 = (mySMA1.getValue(0)+mySMA2.getValue(0))/2;
    return myVar1;
}
 
var myVar2 = null;
function myCalc2(){
    if(myVar2==null) myVar2 = sma(2, efsInternal("myCalc"));
    return myVar2.getValue(0);
}

Alex,

thank you again for the outstanding help!

if(...==null) works very well with only very few calls!

setComputeOnClose() = history, I delete the line.
