Tradestation Indicator Not Working in Scan

[makkonmak 10]

Hello,

 

I made a very simple indicator which plots the Number of Days inside the BB. The indicator is working fine when applied on a Chart Analysis but when I try to use it in SCAN it is giving me only 1 and 0 like it is calculating only the last bar.

 

Any idea how can I make it work ?

The code is:

 

inputs: Length( 20 ),BBNumDevs( 2 );
variables: UpperBBand(0),LowerBBand(0),NumDays(0);

UpperBBand = BollingerBand(Close,Length,BBNumDevs);
LowerBBand = BollingerBand(Close,Length,-BBNumDevs);

NumDays +=1;
If Close > UpperBBand or close < LowerBBand) then NumDays = 0;

Plot1(NumDays,"Fuse");

Hi,

Have you tried setting up the "Max Load bars" ? It's in the Format your Indicator in the scanner.

Hi,

 

I have tried to change the MaxBarsBack setting fro auto to 50, 100 but still the same result.

 

I did not find the Max Load Bars setting.

Hello,

 

Is it actually the Scanner that you're talking about, or the Radar Screen?

 

I loaded your indicator on a chart, where it worked fine, and then in a Radar Screen where it returned only 0 or 1 as you described.

 

In addition to changing the 'maximum number of bars your study will reference' to 100, I also changed the 'load additional data for accumulative calculations' to 100. After this the indicator displayed the correct value in the Radar Screen.

 

The problem you're having is therefore likely to be to do with the way the indicator is formatted within the scanner/radar screen rather than with your code, which is obviously correct. Hopefully just having a good explore around all the different formatting options will work for you?

 

Kind regards,

Thank you.

 

I made the changes you suggested and it worked in the Radar Screen AND in the Scanner.
