'Not enough data' error not making sense!!??
Posted: Feb 18 2014
Hi all,
I have the below code. It works fine on a chart and plots as required on a low amount of bar showing e.g. 100 bars.
however, if I put this indicator into a watch list screener window, I need to 'Format Resolution (all instruments)' to a custom data range of 300+ bars back! Or else I get the 'Not Enough Data' error.
I specifically want to show the value of Plot 5 (the Overbought or Oversold text) against any stock I put in the watch list.
Am I missing something obvious!?!
Why does this indicator need so many bars back to give me a value in a Watchlist screen, when the calculations only need a few bars to calculate and it works fine on a chart????
thank you so much for any time and help,
Kindest Regards,
KJ
