Hour conditions based bug in ProBuilder

Nicolas Herve · 2019-11-16T22:11:57+00:00

Is this a bug ? The following code always return 4. if Hour >= 22 or Hour = 30 or Hour >= 18 then spread = 2 elsif hour >= 9 then spread = 1 elsif hour >= 8 then spread = 2 else spread = 3 endif return spread // this code always return 4 !!???? But this works perfectly in ProBackText/ProOrder if Hour >= 22 or Hour = 30 or Hour >= 18 then spread = 2 elsif hour >= 9 then spread = 1 elsif hour >= 8 then spread = 2 else spread = 3 endif Graph spread as "spread" if 0 then buy at market endif Did I miss something ? Or isn’t this a bug ? Also same code runs faster in ProBackTest than in ProBuilder (even working code)

The following code always return 4.
```
if Hour >= 22 or Hour<1 or (Hour=1 and minute<15) then
  spread = 4
elsif Hour = 17 then //and minute >= 30 or Hour >= 18 then
  spread = 2
elsif hour >= 9 then
  spread = 1
elsif hour >= 8 then
  spread = 2
else
  spread = 3
endif


return spread
// this code always return 4 !!????
```
But this works perfectly in ProBackText/ProOrder
```
if Hour >= 22 or Hour<1 or (Hour=1 and minute<15) then
  spread = 4
elsif Hour = 17 then //and minute >= 30 or Hour >= 18 then
  spread = 2
elsif hour >= 9 then
  spread = 1
elsif hour >= 8 then
  spread = 2
else
  spread = 3
endif

Graph spread as "spread"

if 0 then
  buy at market
endif
```

Please try to write a topic title more explicit next time! And please update your profile by selecting your country.

The first code (indicator) runs correctly for me on 5-minutes timeframe. What timeframe and instrument did you check?

Thank you for testing the code.
I am using tick time frame.

p.s.: Yeah I’m new to this forum.

I have indeed the same issue on tick-charts. I will try to know more about it and let you know.

This is a problem specific in v10.3 (not present with new version 11). You should be able to get rid of the issue by using this kind of code instead:
```
MyHOur=Hour
 
if MyHour >= 22 or MyHour<1 or (MyHour=1 and minute<15) then
spread = 4
elsif MyHour = 17 then //and minute >= 30 or MyHour >= 18 then
spread = 2
elsif MyHour >= 9 then
spread = 1
elsif MyHour >= 8 then
spread = 2
else
spread = 3
endif

return spread
```
