EMPTY_VALUE Buffer returning a value in strategy tester New comment Osazee Asikhemhen 2024.07.22 18:00 Hi friends Please I have an indicator which have 3 buffers. The 3rd buffer should return EMPTY_VALUE for buy condition OR same value as second Buffer in sell condition. But in strategy tester, the indicator constantly returns thesame value for first and second buffers. Please help me take a look.

Hi friends
Please I have an indicator which have 3 buffers.
The 3rd buffer should return EMPTY_VALUE for buy condition OR same value as second Buffer in sell condition.
But in strategy tester, the indicator constantly returns thesame value for first and second buffers.
Please help me take a look.
Thanks
