Using multiple timeframes in code

  Hello Everybody,

   

  Hope someone can help me. For a while i was having no trouble with a tradingsystem that run on multiple timeframes. On the four hour chart it watsches the historic volatility and on the 5 minutes charts i watch the trend . The system has worked perfectly, but suddenly i got the error that there was a division by zero.

  I checked everything and pinpointed it to the coding i use to first check the 4 hour chart and use this as a condition in my 5 minute chart.

  The coding without multiple timeframes was:

  code with no multiple timeframes

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False DEFPARAM FLATBEFORE = 080000 DEFPARAM FLATAFTER = 220000 daysForbiddenEntry = OpenDayOfWeek = 6 OR OpenDayOfWeek = 0 ONCE Nbbarlimit = L var1 = ExponentialAverage[20](close)>= ExponentialAverage[100](close) var2 = High[0] < High[1] var3 = Low[0] > Low[1] var4 = ExponentialAverage[20](close)<= ExponentialAverage[100](close) var5 = myhv >= B indicator1 = CALL "Moving Average"[20, 1](close) c1 = (indicator1 >= 8) C2 = (indicator1 <= -8) IF not onmarket and var1 AND var2 AND var3 and C1 then

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False   DEFPARAM FLATBEFORE = 080000   DEFPARAM FLATAFTER = 220000   daysForbiddenEntry = OpenDayOfWeek = 6 OR OpenDayOfWeek = 0   ONCE Nbbarlimit = L   var1 = ExponentialAverage[20](close)>= ExponentialAverage[100](close) var2 = High[0] < High[1] var3 = Low[0] > Low[1] var4 = ExponentialAverage[20](close)<= ExponentialAverage[100](close) var5 = myhv >= B   indicator1 = CALL "Moving Average"[20, 1](close)     c1 = (indicator1 >= 8) C2 = (indicator1 <= -8)   IF not onmarket and var1 AND var2 AND var3 and C1 then

  When i add the coding for the multple timerframes it now gives the error “divison by 0”. Does anybody know what i am doing wrong?

  code with multiple timeframes

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False DEFPARAM FLATBEFORE = 080000 DEFPARAM FLATAFTER = 220000 daysForbiddenEntry = OpenDayOfWeek = 6 OR OpenDayOfWeek = 0 timeframe(4hour) myhv = HistoricVolatility[20](close) timeframe(5minute) ONCE Nbbarlimit = L var1 = ExponentialAverage[20](close)>= ExponentialAverage[100](close) var2 = High[0] < High[1] var3 = Low[0] > Low[1] var4 = ExponentialAverage[20](close)<= ExponentialAverage[100](close) var5 = myhv >= 0.12 indicator1 = CALL "Moving Average"[20, 1](close) c1 = (indicator1 >= 8) C2 = (indicator1 <= -8) IF not onmarket and var1 AND var2 AND var3 and C1 then

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False   DEFPARAM FLATBEFORE = 080000   DEFPARAM FLATAFTER = 220000   daysForbiddenEntry = OpenDayOfWeek = 6 OR OpenDayOfWeek = 0   timeframe(4hour) myhv = HistoricVolatility[20](close)   timeframe(5minute) ONCE Nbbarlimit = L   var1 = ExponentialAverage[20](close)>= ExponentialAverage[100](close) var2 = High[0] < High[1] var3 = Low[0] > Low[1] var4 = ExponentialAverage[20](close)<= ExponentialAverage[100](close) var5 = myhv >= 0.12   indicator1 = CALL "Moving Average"[20, 1](close)     c1 = (indicator1 >= 8) C2 = (indicator1 <= -8)   IF not onmarket and var1 AND var2 AND var3 and C1 then

  kind regards,

  A “division by zero”error is expected to be reported by a division,

  I can’t spot any division in your code, so it’s impossible to know the source.

  Maybe there’s a division in the indicator or in the missing code.

  Check your “Moving Average” indicator’s code for any division.
