Floating-Point Division by Zero Error Message

From MultiCharts
The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

This message may pop up in MultiCharts and/or portfolio Trader during your study calculation. Floating point error means that there is a division by a zero value in your code. It can be a variable, input, or a function in use that returns zero value. You need to identify this variable/input/function and make sure that the returned value is not zero.

You can use the Print keyword to output the values utilized in the script:

Example

var: vrs(0);

if vrs=0 then raiseruntimeerror("!!!alarm vrs=0");

if vrs<>0 then
	plot1(close/vrs)
else
	plot1(0);
