Description

#Pad is a special Data Section tag that looks like a cross-sectional function name but is not one.

This tag specifies that a Data item should replace any NaN values in the calculated data array for this item with zeros.

Example

IndexSignal: #Pad Extern($$SPX, C > MA(C, 200))

If the formula cannot be calculated, e.g. for US holiday bars when calculating it for a non-US symbol, the result will be 0 rather than NaN.

Notes

If #Pad were not specified, this IndexSignal would be NaN on US holiday bars when referencing it from a non-US symbol.

See #Fill for an alternative way to replace NaN values.
