CS1025

error This number is not valid.

#What it means

Something that starts like a number is not a valid number.

#Typical cause

• Two decimal points, as in 1.5.2.
• Letters stuck to the digits, as in 14d or 12abc (a name cannot start with a digit).
• An exponent with no digits, as in 1e.
• A number too large to store.

#How to fix it

Write a plain number (14, 0.5, 1e-6). If you meant a name, start it with a letter or _.

#Example

//@chartscript 1
indicator("Scaled close")
const factor = 1.5.2
plot(close * factor)

Fixed

//@chartscript 1
indicator("Scaled close")
const factor = 1.52
plot(close * factor)
