Avoid return of a value when “0”

  Hello
  I had a custom indicator that worked in the past –
  The idea was when the value of a variable was “0” the value was not to be returned. something like:
  if (close > open)
  v = close
  else
  v= 0
  return v AS “MY”

  this worked well , but now I see that the chart plots a transition from “0”
  Is there a way to still not distort the chart by values of “0” ?

  Thanks

  There you go:

  t = 0 v = close if (close > open)then t = 255 endif return v AS "MY" coloured(255,0,0,t) style(line,4)

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  t = 0 v = close if (close > open)then    t = 255 endif return v AS "MY" coloured(255,0,0,t) style(line,4)

  Hi,
  Thanks a lot for you answer !
  it helped , but problem is still not resolved –
  The way that is is drawn now is you see a line connected between a candle that had “t=0” and  a candle with “t=255” .
  As you can see in your drawing a transition is plotted (marked in yellow) on the graph .
  is there a way to avoid drawing this transition and actually start the drawing from the candle that has “t=255” ?
  Thanks,
  Lior

  if you look at the picture you sent out –
  there is a transition shown between the candle at 14:00 and the one at 15:00
  the candle at 14:00 has t=0 and the one at 15:00 has t=255, so I would expect the drawing to start for the candle at 15:00
  why is there a connecting line before the candle at 15:00  (the one joining the candle at 14:00 with the one at 15:00) and is there a way to avoid this ?
  Thanks

  It’s just a simple change in the formula…

  Avoid Value Zero

  t = 0 v = close if (close > open) and (Close[1]>Open[1]) and Close>Close[1] then t = 255 endif return v AS "MY" coloured(255,0,0,t) style(line,4)

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  t = 0 v = close if (close > open) and (Close[1]>Open[1]) and Close>Close[1] then t = 255 endif return v AS "MY" coloured(255,0,0,t) style(line,4)
