Please help with my code.
Hello,
I'm trying to make an indicator that takes 4 entry values (Stochastic Oscillator, Stochastic Oscillator Slow, RSI(9) and RSI(14)), powers them to some set weights (w11 to w14) and then multiplies the result to store it in a variable (S1). Then, this variable is multiplied by another set weight (c1) and adds it to the same calculation (S2) but with different weights (w21 to w24 & c2). The result of the sum is stored in the variable ExtOutput[]. If I draw ExtOutput[], the indicator works fine but the range of the result is meant to be between 0 and 100 (similar to the Stochastic Oscillator) but because of the calculations, it varies between 0.2 and 1.4.
I've tried to normalize the results using a standard formula:
Buf_0[i] = (ExtOutput[] - ExtOutput[ArrayMinimum(ExtOutput,WHOLE_ARRAY,0)])*100/(ExtOutput[ArrayMaximum(ExtOutput,WHOLE_ARRAY,0)] - ExtOutput[ArrayMinimum(ExtOutput,WHOLE_ARRAY,0)]);
When I enter this code, the indicator stops working and it does not draw. Trying to figure out the error, I found out that the maximum value I get with ArrayMaximum() is 2147483647 (EMPTY_VALUE) so the normalization formula gives values close to 0 due to the high number in the denominator.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?. I need the output of ExtOutput[] to be ranged from 0 to 100 so I can draw it in the chart. Code is down below, thanks in advance!
You don't need ArrayMaximum or ArrayMinimum, are applying this on each tick ? Simply get a global/static variable to get the max and compare your current value with this max. Same for min. Manage the EMPTY_VALUE exception.
What is the value of ExtOutput[] ?
Hey, I over complicated the problem! Following your advice on the global variable I was able to get the max and the min easily. Thanks a lot!!
