Although shifting by 1 candle back seems to work fine, setting longer distance gives wrong values.
I'm not sure, but I've noticed that probably it gives values of candle twice older. Tried for instance 4 and got values of 8 candles back.

Anyone can confirm?

It's not the strategy however, I just recreated this issue with two bbands indicator blocks only. If you put them into any strategy the output is the same wrong.

Pictures showing the issue : bbands1 showing values of 1 candle back, bbands4 - 4 candles, and bbands8 - 8 candles

Ok thank you.

Could you please check with the strategy attached?

These filters I add were essential in order to minimize errors.
Please note that when testing with debug variables it may occur that the flash-player (the workspace from VJF) is slower than JAVA (source code) hence it follows that the variables can vary from each other.

Bye

I don't get it.
Why should you add extra 'if' blocks, while these filters are already built into 'bbands' block? (you must specify period and instrument there anyway)
Is it a beta isuue or it will remain like this?

It is because you wanted to set up the strategy like this:

To add filters means in that case that you will minimize errors - both will work. But as you might know you have to be precise in coding something. If a user just want to filter or check different values - he can.

There are many functions working without the filters - but we do not recommend them.

Cheers

Adding filters didn't help.
