Very strange results
Could sombody explain me why, the Metatrader make this results:
I have this function:
buy=sell=sellL=buyL=sell_close=buy_close=deleteSell=deleteBuy=false;
double kwanUP,kwanDN,midUP,midDN;
kwanUP=NormalizeDouble(iCustom(NULL,0,"Kwan",Count_Bars,StartLine,0,1),2);
kwanDN=NormalizeDouble(iCustom(NULL,0,"Kwan",Count_Bars,StartLine,1,1),2);
midUP=NormalizeDouble(iCustom(NULL,0,"Kwan",Count_Bars,StartLine,4,1),2);
midDN=NormalizeDouble(iCustom(NULL,0,"Kwan",Count_Bars,StartLine,5,1),2);
PrintFormat("kwanUP0=%f",kwanUP);
PrintFormat("kwanDN0=%f",kwanUP);
Print ("MathAbs(kwanUP-kwanDN)>0.001=",MathAbs(kwanUP-kwanDN)>0.001);
if (kwanUP!=kwanDN)Print ("Not Equal");
if (MathAbs(kwanUP-kwanDN)>0.001){
PrintFormat("kwanUP=%f",kwanUP);
PrintFormat("kwanDN=%f",kwanUP);
PrintFormat("midUP=%f",midUP);
PrintFormat("midDN=%f",midDN);
if (kwanUP0.0){buy=true;
deleteSell=true;
sell_close=true;
}
if (kwanDN>midDN&&kwanUP==0.0&&kwanDN>0.0){
sell=true;
buy_close=true;
deleteBuy=true;
}
}
}and in tester I've got this results in logfile
What's is going on. the same command is different resultaty and it's against logic. Why it is not equal, when is equal?Zbigi
Which exact version of kwan are you using?
Zbigi Which exact version of kwan are you using?
I use my Version, I took the version "Copyright © 1999-2008, MetaQuotes Software Corp." as basis and I changed it a little bit. The Kwan result is not an issue. I put the result in variables and they shouldn't chandge their values. And as You see, they don't change values but the result are diffrrent

I asked that because this way the code can not be tested
Normalize double does not guarantee same results in new builds
Yes its true, but as I mention, I put the results of indicator into variable, then I check if then are not equal. And with the same value printed in the log for both variables (3.94) I've got the value false and next time true. Are the printed result wrong or there are only pointer to indicator? Then there are not the true variables and it can be very faulty.
try using NormalizedDouble(kwanUP-kwanDN,2)==0 for comparison
if you use kwanUP = NormalizeDouble(...,2) you have a double value that does not necessarily have 0es after the 2nd decimal (that is the way how double value is stored)

Interestingly, the error is repetitive

Unfortunately, this solution works worse than roulette. The results are completely unpredictable
I changed the value to integer and it is still the same error.

I'm very sorry, I retract everything. I find it. It it was only the typo error
