MTF – indicator used in autotrading only works with limited periods

  Hi all, this could go in indicators, correct me if I’m wrong and put it there – but I use it in probacktest.

  I am having a problem with this indicator here:

  timeframe (3 month) QO = open timeframe (1 month) MO = open timeframe (1 week) WO = open timeframe (1 day) DayO = open timeframe (default) if close>QO and close>MO and close>WO and close>DayO then num=1 else num=0 endif return num

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

  timeframe (3 month) QO = open   timeframe (1 month) MO = open   timeframe (1 week) WO = open   timeframe (1 day) DayO = open   timeframe (default) if close>QO and close>MO and close>WO and close>DayO then num=1 else num=0 endif   return num

  The above works fine – if I have up to 3,000 units selected.

  If I go over 3,000 units, the following error is displayed – see pic.

  If i put the code into probacktest to use as a condition, it doesn’t throw an error and I can test on 100k units – the error only comes up when it is displayed as a separate indicator, as per above.

  How can I get this indicator to work – would be good to have.

  Thanks,

  Finning.

  Hi Nicolas,

  I just tried to re-run the code and got the same error.

  I tried it on AUDUSD mini, timeframe 1 hour, 100k units.

  Thanks,

  Finning.

  It works on US Tech 100 Cash (1€), but not on US Tech 100 Cash (100$).

  It seems to be working on most Indeces, Gold,…. but not on currencies.
