What are Discontinuous Lines in cTrader.

hi,
Cannot figure out why these lines are not discontinuous.Or do i have a wrong understanding of discontinuous
using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;
namespace cAlgo
{
[Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
public class TestDiscontinue : Indicator
{
[Output("Main1", PlotType = PlotType.DiscontinuousLine)]
public IndicatorDataSeries Result1 { get; set; }
[Output("Main2", PlotType = PlotType.DiscontinuousLine)]
public IndicatorDataSeries Result2 { get; set; }
int Switch = 1;
int PrevIndex = -1;
protected override void Initialize()
{
}
public override void Calculate(int index)
{
if(PrevIndex==index) return;
if(
((double)index)/3 == index/3 ||
((double)index)/4 == index/4
)
Switch *= -1;
if(Switch>0)
Result1[index] = Bars[index].High;
else
Result2[index] = Bars[index].High;
Print(index + "\t"+ Result1[index],"\t",Result2[index]);
PrevIndex=index;
}
}
}
Any Idea?

Hi,
The lines are discontinuous:
Discontinuous outputs can have empty or NAN values, and those NAN values will not be displayed on the chart.
Well that was my understanding also.
So Why does my little progam above NOT generate discontinuous Lines?

Because both
((double)index)/3 == index/3
is false and
((double)index)/4 == index/4
is false.
So it always has a value in Result1 and not Result2 because Switch is always > 0:
if(Switch>0) Result1[index] = Bars[index].High;

Sorry to tell you but you're wrong.
Just run the indicator code i've posted and see for yourself.

Perhaps you have some Windows or .Net updates that haven't taken affect yet in cTrader? Reboot?

My Last message to you about this!
Print statement
Print(
"index = " + index +" => " +
(((double)index)/3).ToString("F1") +" =?= "+
(index/3).ToString("F1") +" || " +
(((double)index)/4).ToString("F1") +" =?= "+
(index/4).ToString("F1") + " => " +
(((double)index)/3 == index/3 || ((double)index)/4 == index/4)
);
Output:
23/05/2022 14:38:33.156 | index = 0 => 0.0 =?= 0.0 || 0.0 =?= 0.0 => True
23/05/2022 14:38:33.156 | index = 1 => 0.3 =?= 0.0 || 0.3 =?= 0.0 => False
23/05/2022 14:38:33.156 | index = 2 => 0.7 =?= 0.0 || 0.5 =?= 0.0 => False
23/05/2022 14:38:33.156 | index = 3 => 1.0 =?= 1.0 || 0.8 =?= 0.0 => True
23/05/2022 14:38:33.156 | index = 4 => 1.3 =?= 1.0 || 1.0 =?= 1.0 => True
23/05/2022 14:38:33.156 | index = 5 => 1.7 =?= 1.0 || 1.3 =?= 1.0 => False
23/05/2022 14:38:33.156 | index = 6 => 2.0 =?= 2.0 || 1.5 =?= 1.0 => True
23/05/2022 14:38:33.156 | index = 7 => 2.3 =?= 2.0 || 1.8 =?= 1.0 => False
23/05/2022 14:38:33.156 | index = 8 => 2.7 =?= 2.0 || 2.0 =?= 2.0 => True
23/05/2022 14:38:33.156 | index = 9 => 3.0 =?= 3.0 || 2.3 =?= 2.0 => True
So please next time do not answer without beign 100% sure when you're rebuttled. but try the provided indicator code first. If you did you'd seen you were wrong!

Hi,
The lines are discontinuous:
After closing all copies of cTrader and reinstalling cTrader it It now gives the discontinuous lines as it should.

Hi,
The image I posted is from your own indicator and as you can see it was working fine on my system.
