indicator updates every other bar

[dloomis]

I have an EFS that plot a calculated variable every other bar. If I reload the stud, the empty bars fill in.

Where could the problem be? Why does the plotted value only get returned every other bar?

I think I have something messed up with getCurrentBarIndex()=1 but not sure why thi would cause the variable to be discarded every other bar.

ok, I took the

if(getCurrentBarIndex()==0)

out and activated

setComputeOnClose(true);

Now when I change symbols the Formula Output Window prints after each bar is loaded into memory, but the study prints correctly.

How do I turn off the updates during chart loading?

ok, took the indicator calcs and moved them up to the front and by passed all the debugPrintln's so they don't fire during a chart reload.

I still wish I understood the setComputeonClose(true/false) and
getCurrentBarIndex()=0 or -1 and GetBarState and their interactions
better....

Any one got any hints.

Hi david, this was dealt with on another thread:

http://forum.esignalcentral.com/show...urrentBarIndex

If you want more info - let me know.

[dloomis]

lines not executing

debugPrintln("inMarket1= "+inMarket);
if(inMarket=="SellStopPlaced")
{ debugPrintln("inMarket4= "+inMarket+SSL1+SSL2);
ss1=dots5.call("GetOrderPrice",SSL1);
debugPrintln("inMarket5= "+inMarket);
ss2=dots5.call("GetOrderPrice",SSL2);

The above prints inMarket1 ans inMarket4 but not inMarket5

SSL1 was a market order defined just above.

Any ideas why this wont run down to the inMarket5 line?

indicator updates every other bar

As I watch my indicator, I see a plot every other bar. I thought this was an efs coding mistake ( probably is) but now I also see that the indcators position on the chart moves to the left as new bars are added.

In other words, the missed indicator plots are inserting extra spaces.

Here are two pictures, before and after a symbol change. Note how the before chart has dots at the 925 level staring at 14:15 then there are many 'empty' indicators dots at 925. Thennotice when the chart is redrawn the dots realign at 925 starting at 14:40

here is the after shot

David, we just corrected a related issue this AM. The issue is related to compute on close.

There will be a prebeta release later this week that contains this fix. In the meantime, you can correct this by removing any calls to "setComputeOnClose" from your formulas. If you still want COC on, goto Tools->EFS Settings and turn it on using the checkbox in there.

The issue only exists when you use the EFS function setComputeOnClose

gee, that works much better, thx for the heads up.

I turned off setComputeOnClose off in the tools, efs settings area also.

oh, good.

But I think I have seen something else that is related.

The issue only seems to be prevalent when using PLOTTYPE_DOTS.

PLOTTYPE_LINES doesn't have the skewing I reported.

Does this correspond to your understanding?

PS I have had setComputeOnClose commented out and had the same issue.
