Moving Average Simple with SCDateTime input

I have the following studies in the Graph :

1.)  Bar Time Duration

2.)  Moving Average Simple
- Input data is subgraph from BarTimeDuration study – DURATION, which is a SCDateTime type

So far I got the moving average from Bar Time duration.

Now I wanted to get this subgraph to my ACSIL study. However, I have some problem, I get zero values only.


Here I imported the Bar Time Duration Average
sc.GetStudyArrayUsingID(3,0,BarTimeDurationAverage);

Then I wanted to get the value from BarTimeDurationAverage array.

I am not sure what is the type of output Subgraph AVG in the Moving Average Simple,
whether it is SCDateTime or float type or something else.

That is why, I tried these two ways how to get the Moving average values, however, both ways give me zero values:

as INT variable: TIME_PART(BarTimeDurationAverage[sc.Index]
as FLOAT variable: BarTimeDurationAverage[sc.Index]

can you help with this, thank you

The Bar Time Duration Subgraph contains SCDateTime values stored as 4-byte floating-point values.

How have you defined this:
BarTimeDurationAverage

And if you check the size of it after getting the array, is it zero?


Both of these are valid:
as INT variable: TIME_PART(BarTimeDurationAverage[sc.Index])
as FLOAT variable: BarTimeDurationAverage[sc.Index]

(I used this definition: SCFloatArray BarTimeDurationAverage )

I did another check, and found out the values are correct, my excuse.


However when I want to display the value, it gives me the zero value:

sc.FormatString(Text01," %.1f ", BarTimeDurationAverage[sc.Index] )

Where is the mistake? For the formatting string, only use %f. You need at least six digits of precision.
