Help debugging high/low in strategy

  Hello Everyone,

  Writing here because i am finding a couple of issues while working with the platform. Hopefully i am doing something wrong. The issues are as follow:

  • IntraDayBarIndex (intradaybarindex figure) – Intradaybarindex count is not consistent across days. This affects logic that make use of bar counting.
  • Time (time  figure) – Inconsistent behavior while graphing time inside a strategy. Not all days start/end or have the same extension. Any clue?
  • DHigh(1) | DLow(1) (DHigh figure) – Previous day High and Low are not plotted correctly on chart, neither am able to access those variables correctly during backtesting. Somewhat in certain days those variables are offset to unknown values, due to unknown reasons.
  • Variable reported incorrectly  (variables figure) – It seems i cannot get the variable orbLow to work by any means while coding a breakout strategy. It always returns zero. Quite curiously the behavior of orbHigh works nicely. Code is attached next:
    orb

    ONCE orbStart = 080000 // 080000 ONCE orbStop = 081000 // 083000 // Store ORB Limits -------------------------- IF Time >= orbStart AND Time <= orbStop THEN // Store orbHL IF Time = orbStart THEN orbH = High orbL = Low ENDIF // Update till end of Orb IF Low < orbL THEN orbL = Low ENDIF IF High > orbH THEN orbH = High ENDIF ENDIF IF orbStart AND orbStop THEN BUY 0 Contracts At Market ENDIF // DEBUGGING -------------------------------------- Graph orbL as "orbL" Graph orbH as "orbH"

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

    ONCE orbStart = 080000  // 080000 ONCE orbStop = 081000  // 083000     // Store ORB Limits -------------------------- IF Time >= orbStart AND Time <= orbStop THEN // Store orbHL IF Time = orbStart THEN orbH = High orbL = Low ENDIF   // Update till end of Orb IF Low < orbL THEN orbL = Low ENDIF IF High > orbH THEN orbH = High ENDIF   ENDIF IF orbStart AND orbStop THEN BUY 0 Contracts At Market ENDIF     // DEBUGGING -------------------------------------- Graph orbL as "orbL" Graph orbH as "orbH"

    Any clues or hints about those?

    Many Thanks!

  Did you try to “GRAPH Time = orbStart” ?

  The problem is there.
