Hour conditions based bug in ProBuilder

  Is this a bug ?
  The following code always return 4.

  Bug in ProBuilder

  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 !!????

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  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

  No Bug in ProBackTest

  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

  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

   

  Did I miss something ? Or isn’t this a bug ?

  Also same code runs faster in ProBackTest  than in ProBuilder (even working code)

  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  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
