Anthony,
I see many multiple iif statements in various codes you post and I
would like to notice something:
A multiple iif statement will be valid when each condition EXCLUDES
the rest, else there will be
a confusion.
For example Day10<Day6 does exclude Day10>Day6 but does not exclude
Day9>Day5 or Day9<Day5, consequently the statement
IIf( Day10 < Day6, 5, IIf( Day10 >Day6, 8, IIf( Day9 < Day5, 5,...
leads to confusion.
It is easy to find candles with Day5<Day1 coloured with #8 and not
with #5, as written in your
IIf( Day5 < Day1, 5, IIf( Day5 >Day1, 8,5));
because some previous statement, perhaps Day14>Day10, is true,
paints the candle with #8 and does not leave room for other
possibilities.
On the other side, in your code you simply ask #5 when C 5 bars ago
is > than C 1 bar ago and #8 when not, no matter if it is bar 10 or
bar 20 etc.
This would be written easier as
A1=Ref(C,-5)<Ref(C,-1);
A2=Ref(C,-5)>Ref(C,-1);
barcolor=A1*5+A2*8;
For a correct multiple iif statement
IIf(S1,a1,(IIf(S2,a2,IIf(S3,a3,IIf(S4,a4,...
condition S2 should be excluded by S1, condition S3 should be
excluded by S1 and S2,
condition S4 should be excluded by S1 and S2 and S3 and so on.
I hope this hepls to avoid the multiple iif headaches .
