esignal keeps crashing

[averyhorton]

I have been having problems today...

Every time I change the stock symbol... esignal crashes...

So I downloaded the lastest beta version but the problem persists.

Could my new EFS be causing this?

Unless you changed something in that efs, I doubt it would cause a crash, Chris writes great code.

[averyhorton]

I did

I did make a couple of changes/additions.

HELP ALEXIS or anyone

It is definitely something in my divergence efs that is causing a problem...

Can someone please help?

Thanking You in Advance.

Avery:

Try the attached. Did not test it extensively but I believe it is working correctly.

Thanks for fixing it....

What was the problem??

Avery:

There were a couple of braces in the wrong place and I just moved your alert calls a little further down in the main() code.

Thanks again, Chris...

But it still crashed!!

I am running the lastest Beta version 7.3 Build 578.

I know it is this EFS because when I remove it, no more crashes!!

Since I have only had esignal since April 1, I am still a rookie though I have been a programmer since 1977.

I wonder what makes the software so sensitive that it would crash like this??

Can you steer me in the right direction?

Thanks.

One other thing...

I am NOT sure the divergence routine does what I think it does...lol

It really should alert me if a lower price results in a higher "LOW" RSI than the last lowest price OR if a higher price results in a lower "High" RSI than the last highest price.

Avery:

I'll take a look at the file tonight and get back to you in the morning.

Avery:

Attached EFS will trigger alerts on divergences as generated by the script.

Chris

[averyhorton]

Hey.. thanks a lot!

I will give this a shot!

[averyhorton]

Why does this routine keep crashing my computer???

I didn't change a thing!!

When I click on different stock symbols, sooner or later it give me the old "...encountered a problem" message and shuts down.

What makes the code so sensitive?

Avery:

Not sure what to tell you. I have run the script repeatedly on this end and have yet to see a crash. I have also been through the code line-by-line to look for a possible cause and I have not spotted anything. Certainly doesn't mean that there is not a bug... just that I have not found it yet.

One thing you might want to try is to REM out all the instances of
Alert.addToList in the efs and see if that changes anything.
If it does then the next step to try would be to delete the Alerts.xml in
your eSignal folder and then reinstate all the alerts in the efs.
FWIW I have been running this script in both real time and in Replay,
changing symbols etc and have not had a single problem.
