zero divide error

New comment
 

Hey Folks!! Hope everyone is doing just great!! Kindly assist in resolving a "zero divide error" that keeps coming up at the code below;

     double change;

     double PRI_MA;

     double CUR_MA;

     PRI_MA=iMA(NULL,60,60,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,60);

     CUR_MA=iMA(NULL,60,60,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);

     change=( CUR_MA - PRI_MA ) / PRI_MA;

Any assistance on how to eliminate this recurring error will be highly appreciated. Thanks

That is why we have developed a series of basic checks to ensure the required quality level of the Market products. If any errors are identified by the Market...

Check that the highlighted value, in this case 60, must not be greater than iBars(Symbol(),60)-60

     PRI_MA=iMA(NULL,60,60,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,60);

  1. Why did you post your MT4 question in the Root / MT5 General section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)
              General rules and best pratices of the Forum. - General - MQL5 programming forum
    Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

  2. Please edit your (original) post and use the CODE button (Alt-S)! (For large amounts of code, attach it.)

  3. On MT4: Unless the current chart is that specific pair/ TF referenced, you must handle 4066/4073 errors before accessing candle/indicator values.
