Hi Support Team
Hope you can help. I have a code which from time to time have a negative value which stop my strategy in Pro Order.
The one code is:
indicator1=(close-average[10](close))
indicator2=(average[10](close-average[10](close))
c1=(indicator1>indicator2)
c2=(indicator1<indicator2)
The problem is when the close/price is below the average then the indicator1 returns a negative value which also means indicator2 will be negative, crossing the zero line. I use it as a bearish or bullish indicator the same as a using close>average[10](close) as bullish.
What can I do for the builder to accept the > or < even if the are negative for example if:
indicator1 = -5 and indicator2 = -10 then c1 remains true even if the values are negative without pro order stopping the strategy?
The second code is:
indicator1=volume
indicator2=(high-low)
c1=(indicator1/indicator2)
So when the volume = 0 then Pro Order stops. So what I did is:
If indicator1 < 1 Then
indicator1 = 1
Else
indicator1 = volume
endif
So that the calculation continues even when volume = 0. This do not seem to work. Works fine in backtest and demo but not live. Hope you can help?

Hi Vonasi
Apologies did not even know how to use the insert function, but i will find out and use it in future. Thank you. Also do you have a potential solution to my problem?
My suggestion would be to only allow the code to run if volume <> 0
if volume <> 0 then
//your entry conditions and orders here
endif
Thank you Vonasi will try, and any suggestion on the the first code, I try to do the insert code but it does not look the same as yours, sorry!
indicator1=(close-average[10](close))
indicator2=(average[10](close-average[10](close))
c1=(indicator1>indicator2)
c2=(indicator1<indicator2)
I presume that when the close is below the average[10] or when it crosses over, the value returned is either zero or a negative value which is probably why it stops?
Hi Vonasi, just realized I could try the same suggestion you gave:
If indicator <> 0 Then
