Indicator from average

  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

  1 2 3

  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  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,

  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.
