Trading System Getting Stopped

  Hi,

  I am getting below message when looking at the warning of a stopped trading system:

  “The trading system was stopped because an indicator received a negative or zero parameter ex:(-10).

  You can modify your code to to prevent negative parameters then backtest the system to check the correction.”

  Is there a way to find where in the code I am getting it? I mean is there a way to debug it? or only option is to use graph/graphonprice?

  Regards.

  I see the problem now.

  TimesTraded=0
  FOR i=0 to 10 do
  if tradeprice(i) = myLong then
  TimesTraded = TimesTraded +1
  endif
  next

  where myLong is a number/support (e.g.  13010 on nas). All I am trying to do is if this level was traded by the program already.  Then, in my limit order I try to do:

   

  IF NOT LongOnMarket AND TIMEOPERATE AND LongCondition and TimesTraded < 3 THEN

  SET STOP LOSS Sl
  SET TARGET PROFIT ProfitLimit
  myBuyPrice = myLong
  ENDIF

  How can I fix the first part to avoid the system getting stopped because of the error mentioned in the first post? Any idea? Thanks

  Not sure the problem is located in this part of the code, are you sure you are not using an indicator with a zero or negative variable as a period?

  Thanks. I will check.

  Tonight right after its operating hour start at 1am (TIMEOPERATE = TIME>010000 AND TIME<205500 //1am to 855pm), it gave below error:

  The trading system was stopped due to a division by zero in one of its sub-functions during the evaluation of the last candlestick.
  You can add protections to your code to prevent divisions by 0 then backtest the system to check the correction.

  I will check my indicator.

  Hi,

  In below code, I try to see if a level has been used certain number of times but when I enable the strategy in automatic trading, on start of the candle, it gives error.

  traded3Times=0 FOR i=0 to 10 do if tradeprice(i) = myLong then traded3Times = traded3Times +1 endif next

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  traded3Times=0 FOR i=0 to 10 do if tradeprice(i) = myLong then traded3Times = traded3Times +1 endif next

  Results in

  The trading system was stopped because an indicator received a negative or zero parameter ex:(-10). You can modify your code to to prevent negative parameters then backtest the system to check the correction.

  If no trade has happened, what is the default value of tradeprice?

  Regards.
