    Hi community,

    I want to create a varible that would be used as length of average window

    LengthWindow = round(average[20](close) )
RetIndicator = average[LengthWindow](close)
return RetIndicator

    Such solution wouldnt work because LengthWindow is not defined for the first 20 numbers. The program will yield an error: A positive integer filed is expected with average

    A first solution would be to fill the LengthWindow with any nunber for the first 20 elements and things will work

    if BarIndex < 20 then 
    LengthWindow = 1
else
    LengthWindow = average[20](close)
endif
RetIndicator = average[LengthWindow](close) 
return RetIndicator

    This solution does not work as well

     

    Any idea please

    Many thanks

    Try this:

    if barindex >= 20 then
LengthWindow = round(average[20](close) )
RetIndicator = average[LengthWindow](close)
endif

return RetIndicator

    Thank You very much for Answer,

    It worked for this example, for some reason it still does not work for the next example:

    HVWindow=100
if (BarIndex > HVWindow)    then
ProxyWindow = historicvolatility[HVWindow](close)
Window = round(ProxyWindow)
RetIndicator=average[Window](close)

endif

return RetIndicator

    Do you have any idea please?

     

    Many thanks,

    Anouar

    Because the Historic Volatility indicator can return values below 0.5 and when any value below 0.5 is rounded this equals zero and zero is not a positive integer.
