indicator builder won't compute and plot values .

Hi, i tried to build a simple indicator from the formula (high-close)/(high-low), but to my dissappointment the indicator builder neither computed the values nor drew the line, it only showed me a blank indicator window with a dashed horizontal line running through the middle. Why is this so. Thanks

In mt4 if you use / (divide by) in indicators you can get division by zero, and then the indicator does not plot. The indicator has a variable called zero fix, you can change the variable value there or use a simple trick, do:
(high-close)/(high-low+0.00000000001)

0.00000000001 won't affect the calculation and should fix the problem. Also, that indicator should be plotted under the chat.

zero fix variable is only available in the Pro version since you need to see the code to change it.
With demo or standard version this is the easiest fix:
(high-close)/(high-low+0.00000000001)
