Implausible Indicator Output. Divide not working? Any ideas?
19 Nov 2017, 12:06
Hi all,
I am trying to take a look at the intervall between Server.Ticks.
So I wrote a simple Indicator (close to a SMA) measuring the time between ticks and returning the average pause in seconds over the specified period.
What I don't get straight ist that the result always remains 0 even though in debugging I can see valid calculation results (see Screenshot).
If I experiment and write 1/(double)Period to Result I get a valid output, but if I then try to switch back to divide 'sum' by periods I again receive zero!
Any Ideas???
THX!
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using cAlgo.API; using cAlgo.API.Internals; using cAlgo.API.Indicators; using cAlgo.Indicators; namespace cAlgo { /// <summary> /// Shows the average Pause inbetween two ServerTicks. /// </summary> [Indicator(IsOverlay = false, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)] public class indMarketVelocity : Indicator { [Parameter(DefaultValue = 10)] public int Periods { get; set; } [Output("Main")] public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; } private IndicatorDataSeries ticks; protected override void Initialize() { ticks = CreateDataSeries(); } public override void Calculate(int index) { int hour = Server.Time.Hour; int minute = Server.Time.Minute; int second = Server.Time.Second; int msec = Server.Time.Millisecond; double timestamp = msec + 1000*second + 60*1000*minute + 24*60*1000*hour; ticks[index]=timestamp; double sum = 0; if (ticks.Count>Periods) { for (int i = index - Periods + 1; i <= index; i++) { sum += ticks[i] - ticks[i - 1]; } Result[index] = sum/(Periods*1000); } } } }

Hi! The server time is always returning current time of the server, you are trying to calculate historical data with it. You should be using MarketSeries.OpenTime instead. See [this indicator ]which is pretty much the same using different approach.
