Reset()

Definition

Resets the internal marker which is used for IsValidDataPoint() back to false. Calling the Reset() method is unique and can be very powerful for custom indicator development. Series\<t\> objects will always contain a value which is assigned, however calling Reset() simply means you effectively ignore the value of the current bar for plotting purposes. For calculation purposes you will want to use IsValidDataPoint() to ensure you are not calculating off of any reset values assigned by the Reset() method.

Examples

1 protected override void OnBarUpdate()
2 {
3     // set MyPlot to Low of current bar minus 1 tick
4     MyPlot[0] = Low[0] - (1 * TickSize);         
5 
6     //reset MyPlot every 10 bars
7     if(CurrentBar % 10 == 0)
8         MyPlot.Reset();     
9 
10     // only calculate MyPlot value if it has not be reset
11     if(MyPlot.IsValidDataPoint(0))
12         Print(CurrentBar + " Value is: " + MyPlot[0]);         
13 }
