This is a new warning for me. In previous versions of AB this error was hidden.

The warning is letting me know that the stop loss I have used is zero on the second bar of the chart – [1].

This system allows an entry from the second bar onward, but the stop is a 6 bar channel stop.

A workaround would be to include a ‘start bar’ in the code which will prevent entries until the stop loss has a value.

E.g.

BarNumber = BarIndex();
StartBar = BarNumber > 6;

for (j = 1; j < BarCount; j++)
{
if (LPriceAtBuy==0 AND LE[j] AND StartBar[j])

Nice work around.

i have seen this warning recently mainly after the software upgrade. i was changing the initial value of j from 1 to 2 to clear it.

Here is another workaround in case anyone will need it
when the warning is coming on [x] where is x is greater than 1

so what i am doing here is just saying incase RiskAmnt is zero then replace it by one
