HI Support

Maybe Im not understanding well how the Current +1 works.

Have a strategy that uses a filter Current +1 (Weekly) with Indicator VFO(20,10)>0

I see on the right picture the weekly chart and the VFO is clearly above zero and based on the positions of the bars I don't see how during the week where the black vertical line crosses the VFO could be below zero.

If you look at the daily chart it states the indicator on that week was above zero. But the weekly confirm it was I think.

I used the sync crosshairs to pinpoint the day and what week will fall so we can measure both.

Is there something I maybe missing? Or this maybe a bug?

Thanks

OT is using the smooth line for the VFO value & not the oscillator. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or not, but I’ll try to find out.

Thanks Barry - it would be good to have available the VFO line and the Smooth line in olang separately.

Thank you again

I found out that if you set the Smoothing parameter to zero, then the value returned is the oscillator. So in the formula use VFO(20,0)>0 instead.
