Limit on periods of function

  Does anybody know if there is a limit  for the number of periods on a function like DEMA?

  Following program runs in backtest(one minute timeframe) but not live. I’m getting the message to increase preloadbars, which I have done

  thx Klaus

  defparam preloadbars =2000 once ldema=0 xDEMA = 1050 cDEMA = dema[xDEMA](close) DEMAcond = cDEMA < lDEMA lDEMA = cDEMA if demacond then buy 1 contracts at market else sell at market endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  defparam preloadbars =2000 once ldema=0 xDEMA = 1050 cDEMA = dema[xDEMA](close) DEMAcond = cDEMA < lDEMA lDEMA = cDEMA if demacond then buy 1 contracts at market else sell at market endif

  I know someone who trade Hull moving average of 5000 periods in seconds timeframe.. So I guess it’s possible.

  What is the error of live trading?

  It says to increase Preloadbars, which was already done.

  But anyhow, I changed program logic to circumvent the problem
