Compile Error MC

Recommended Posts

Hi im trying to compile below code in MultiCharts but no luck.

any ideas?

 

thanks.

 

Inputs:

Length( 9 );

 

Value1 = Cum(UpTicks - DownTicks) ;

 

Value2 = Average(Value1, Length) ;

 

If Value2 > Value2 1 bar ago then

Begin

Plot1(Value2, "AccVol", Green, default, 1) ;

End

 

Else

Begin

Plot1(Value2, "AccVol", Red, default, 1);

End ;

 

 

Study: "CumVolume" (Indicator)

Please wait ....

------ Compiled with error(s): ------

syntax error, cannot reference previous values in such expression

errLine 8, errColumn 12, errLineEnd 8, errColumnEnd 12

causal study: (Function)

Try changing

 

If Value2 > Value2 1 bar ago then

 

to

 

If Value2 > Value2[1] then

 

 

Not sure why...I guess this syntax ensures that Value2 gets stored for each bar.

I would suggest using 'meaningful' names for variables rather than the temporary value1 value2 etc.
