Indicator not working

  Hello,

  The following indicator does not return any values.

  I want to build an indicator called “a” where each value is the one from the previous bar to which I add the price variation for the day multiplied (weighted) by the volume variation of the day.

  1. Why it does not work?
  2. How should the problem be fixed?

  Thank you in advance

   

  once a=close v=volume rv=v/v[1] p=close dp=p-p[1] a=a[1]+dp*rv return a

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  once a=close   v=volume rv=v/v[1]   p=close dp=p-p[1]   a=a[1]+dp*rv   return a

  It should work with this modified code, like you did for the ‘a’ variable, giving only once the volume value to the ‘v’ one, fixed it. Because v[1] is not defined the first time the code is read, the calculation can’t complete itself and that’s why you didn’t get anything.

  once a=close once v=volume if barindex>2 then v=volume rv=v/v[1] p=close dp=p-p[1] a=a[1]+dp*rv endif return a

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

  once a=close once v=volume   if barindex>2 then v=volume rv=v/v[1]   p=close dp=p-p[1]   a=a[1]+dp*rv endif   return a
