Discrepancy from function value and its CALL value

Finning · Fri, 11 Jan 2019 04:27:39 +0000

Hi all, am having a problem with the CALL function – and the value that it’s giving me for use with orders. The probacktest code that I had made didn’t seem to be working as intended – don’t they all – but upon closer inspection, I found that there was a discrepancy between my custom function value “Recent Volatility”(15) – and what the probacktest “GRAPH” of the called value of this function (CALLED and GRAPHed as”RV”) was displaying for the function value. I am calling a function that I made – “Recent Volatility”(15). I am definitely calling the right function – there is no error of function name/function called – or period of the function (15) used between what is displayed and the CALL of the function in probacktest. There is also the same problem for the triangluar average (6) of the “Recent Volatility”(15) function – but I would assume that this is from the problem above? What would be causing the probacktest GRAPH value of the “Recent Volatility”(15) function to be different to the original displayed calculated function value? Thanks, Finning

Did you try to show the weekend data too? It has been reported that the calculation could be different if it is not activated, especially on daily timeframe.

Hi Nicolas,

as part of the checks/changes I did regarding post #88401, I tried all different timezones with/without weekend data, and it didn’t make a difference. At Roberto’s direction, I have Ctrl+M’d this problem, because I need this daily data to work.

Cheers
