Debugging a New Indicator

foundations.png
Summary: A case study for developers on how to debug an indicator-in-the-making. These are a few notes taken during a real issue when building the RSI indicator.
My Indicator Is Not Running!
This is the logical checklist in such scenario:
  • Make sure all dependencies are running.
  • Check if the corresponding execution started event is referencing the proper process. Make sure the referenced process is running without error, at 100%.
  • Check if data dependency references are in place. Make sure these dependencies are running without error, at 100%.
  • Stop all bots and delete the Log-Files folder so that you may easily identify current logs.
  • Run your indicator’s dependencies.
  • Make sure they are running properly, without errors. Check the logs if in doubt.
  • Run your indicator. Check your indicator’s log files.
My Indicator Runs With Errors
You may debug an indicator by Debugging a Task, that is, the Data Task that controls the indicator.
