Hello

I'm writing my first line of codes in Easylanguage . When loading my Signal over the chart, i got an error message: Error in study " Name of my study" Exception Division by Zero)

How do I debug that.

I doid not found any code brake or variables report to help me to go down to the problem.

Any help appreciated

It would be helpful if you posted the code. But in general, you've probably got a defined var that is zero by default, and you've tried to divide another var into it. One way to debug is to add print statements every few lines in your code, so you can see where it is "making it" and where it stops. The output will be in the PL Editor output window.

Before executing Y/X, I always do a check. If X = 0, then, either set X to 1, or execute a "return".

Here is a copy of the faulty function

The chart on the screen is a Forex one. This function is to determine if a bar as a hammer, using my definition. The return is a True Or False value.

The problem occur when i do the division to get the ratio between the tail and the body of the bar.

From my observation on the output windows, Var's: are rounded to the second decimal, then calculated

So if Real value Displayed Value
High = 1.3672 1.37
Low 1.3651 1.37
Open 1.3657 1.37
Close 1.3664 1.37

If Body = Open - Close (1.37 - 1.37) = 0 instead of 0.0007

 

Code

{Hammer Fuction Return Hammer =True if all condition is met Input: RBT: Ratio Bar / Tail // RBT: Ratio Body Tail Output: Tail Hammer (True or False) } variables:RBT(0);// Ratio Bar tail Variables:DoubleLength(0),DoubleBody(0),DoubleTail(0); Variables:DoubleLBody(0),DoubleHBody(0); _Hammer=true; RBT=0.99; // If = 1 then Body and Tail could be of equal length. Other Value may be tested Body=absvalue(open-close); LBody=Minlist(Close,Open);// Slect the bottom price of the body HBody=Maxlist(close,open); // Select the upper price of the body Tail=LBody-Low;// Tail = Lower part of the body - low of the bar Print(value1," ",High," ",Low," ",Open," ",Close); // for debugging only Value1=value1+1; // :: :: If((Body/Tail)<RBT)and(close>=medianprice)then_Hammer=true {The body as to be smaller than the tail by a determined ratio ( RBT)} else begin _Hammer=False; //Actual ratio = Body / Tail. This as to be < then the targeted RBT Tail=0; End

Any help appreciated

Did resole this division proble by modifying my approach

Line
If((Body/Tail)<RBT)and(close>=medianprice)then_Hammer=true

as been change for

If ( (Body* RBT ) <Tail) and (close >= medianprice) then _Hammer = true

Instead to divise, I multiply my ratio value to the body.

Work this tiime, not error displayed. Still have to work on the format

Mathematically you are incorrect:

Body/Tail < RBT should be changed to Body < Tail * RBT
