Invalid Bar Setup - 10/25/21 22:42

I found this while upgrading from 2.35 to 2.40

Running the simple code

Code

function run() 
{
	LookBack = 1600;
	set(LOG + PARAMETERS);
	setf(PlotMode, PL_ALL + PL_FINE);
	MaxLong = MaxShort = -1;
	BarPeriod = 1;
	BarOffset = 60 * 9;
	
}

There are no errors when I click trade, however the same code on 2.40 triggers a

Code

Maybe, my point is: The same code run nicely on zorro 2.35 but throw the above error on zorro 2.4

The error message says that you have an invalid bar setup. Perhaps you should fix your bar setup.

Sorry Guys, maybe I was not clear, and I will try again!

IF I run the script above in the ZORRO VERSION 2.35 I see NO error message, right?

BUT, if I run the exact same script in ZORRO VERSION 2.40 THERE'S AN ERROR MESSAGE!

VERSION 2.35 NO ERRORS - SAME SCRIPT
VERSION 2.40 ERROR - SAME SCRIPT

I suggest you try to reproduce the problem as the step-by-step was provided.

Best regards.

Version 2.40 better detects your script bugs. This is a good thing.

Also, do you see how your BarOffset is greater than your BarPeriod? That's illegal. It can be "0 or a positive number smaller than BarPeriod".

Andrew, thank you very much! I think I completely misunderstood the BarOffset.
