Sonething screwball about getBarStateInterval()

[flajann]

My script seems to be hanging on the use of the getBarStateInterval(0) function.

I reverted to an earler version of the script that didn't have this function and it started working again. But when I use this function, the script gets hung in a perpetual "Loading Data..." state.

Here is a diff of my code in the versions that worked and didn't work.

function upper_crossing(periods, sd, backcheck) {
var ret = false;
var ubb = upperBB(periods, sd, 0);
var phigh = high(0);
var plow = low(0);

+ if (getBarStateInterval(0) == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {
+ crossing.upper = false;
+ }
+
if (plow <= ubb && ubb < phigh) {
ret = true;
for (var i = -1; i >= -backcheck; --i) {

The syntax you are using for the getBarStateInterval() function is incorrect. The parameter needs to be a string that indicates the interval. For the description and required syntax of this function [together with an example of its use] see this article in the EFS KnowledgeBase
