PP Fractals // Error message

Hi Khaled,
I don’t understand much of Vonasi’s Indicator code, so the only hint I can give you is that an array can’t contain more than 1M elements. And the message you show seems to be about that.
An other hint could be that the indicator is a kind of lame (not decent) in not being able to find a “base” for its signal, as Vonasi explains himself. So you could have run into that situation where it needs to go back further than the array size allows for.Please keep in mind that my text may not make any sense because I really can’t follow what is going on in his code (up to my thinking that it can’t work at all 😐 ).
Hopefully others can help more; the 1M max elements is key …1 user thanked author for this post.
What I would attempt :
1a = a + 1All such situations (also for b and z at first glance) could be written like this :
123if a < 999999 then // 1 extra to be on the safe side.a = a + 1endifThis will stop going back further than technically possible, but don’t ask me for the reliability of the result and its impact. But at least it won’t fail.
On a (not so unimportant) side note :
You may have read (elsewhere) me questioning what would or could happen in LIVE when the progression of time may cross the threshold of the boundaries of arrays. But this (erroring-out) would require 1M bars plus the amount of looking back first. Anyway, this would be a “feature” of Live which BackTesting would not allow for (it won’t go wrong when time passes).Hope this helps !

Please post the strategy code, we dont know how you have implemented the code into the strategy. I assume you want to trade the last segment breakout? If so, then most of the indicator code is not necessary.

Ok, so arrays are not useful anymore, there was useful in case of plotting them on the chart in the past.
Here is the code, not a real breakout, your condition is testing a price superior or inferior.

All right. There is is. It required the correct 1euro instrument.
But no error messages (yet), and I removed the If 99999 WHICH btw has one 9 too few (I suggested 999999).
What’s next ?

In case you want to pursue this further : It doesn’t seem to be resilient to more normal markets (pre-Inflation – this is 200K).
N.b.: 1M fails on the “500” error @nonetheless also receives. This is not related to the arrays, as it seems.1 user thanked author for this post.
limit the number of values in the Array table.
Because I don’t understand what it (the arrays) is doing there anyway, I suggest that we better interpret what @Nicolas is saying. So to me it now seems that he (from his own code ever back ?) tells that the arrays were only there for graphing, while you don’t graph anything. So just eliminate the code concerned (?).
Otherwise your error in Live (I missed that one – apologies) could be related to the 500-error I receive with the 1M backtest.
