Hi,

Last night I was playing with the ParabolicSar indicator.
Compiling the script I got an error.
In the script the indicator was written as follows

ParabolicSar(0,02,0,2,0,02)

while it should be

ParabolicSar(0.02,0.2,0.02)

Usually the input of an indicator is an integer and not a double.

I assume the reason for the error is the fact that my windows is configured in such a (continental europe) way that the decimal sign is a comma and not a decimal point.

Is there a way to avoid this problem?

Which script are you referring to? In the ParabolicSar indicator I do not see any recursive references to itself. Does manually changing your code to reflect periods instead of commas not work?

I was unaware of any rule that says an input can't be a double. I used doubles as inputs to my indicators whenever I had a need for them.

This is a bug which on non-US machines which will be fixed with next release. Thanks for bringing this up. For now you could set your PC to US settings.
