esignal 7.2 aborts-bug?

[sugart21]

When I try to select and display a formula, an error message appears and esignal 7.2 aborts.
I would be grateful if someone can help solve this problem.

Thank you in advance.

Can you post the formula that is causing the crash?

The text of the exact error message would be helpful as well. Also, does the error occur each time you try it ( i.e. easily reproduced ) and when did you first have the problem (i.e. was it working OK at some point, then suddenly started crashig or did it never work ).

Thanks.

esignal 7.2 error-aborts

Please see the attached gif file showing the error.


Also the efs I was trying to display was:


function preMain() {
setStudyTitle("NYSE $ADD MA");
setPriceStudy(false);
setDefaultBarThickness(1);
}



function main(nInputLength) {
if(nInputLength == null)
nInputLength = 10;

var i;
var vSum = 0.0;
var nSymbol = "$ADD";
varTime = getInterval();
var vSym = nSymbol + "," + varTime;
var vValue= close(0,-nInputLength, vSym);


if(vValue == null) {
return;
}

for(i = 0; i < nInputLength; i++) {
vSum += vValue[i];
}

return (vSum / nInputLength);


I downloaded this from the esignal bulletin board.
Moreover, when I delete the file from my Formula directory, then
esignal works. The same problem appears with several other efs files. I can not figure out why.

Thank you in advance.

What was the name of the original file you downloaded? If I see the original maybe the problem will be clearer.

loomis,

some of the files which esignal crashes when they are just present in the formula firectory:

automatic.efs, stop-loss-eSignal.efs, twotimer.efs

The funny thing is that whe I delete them from the formula directory, then esignal does not crash.

It crashes even if I do not select them specifically, just by clicking on Formulas..crashes.

Thank you.

sugart21,

I have tried to duplicate this crash and have been unsuccessful. I would suggest performing a complete uninstall and reinstall to try to solve this issue. Directions for this procedure can be found here.
