Re: [amibroker] Is there an easier way?

["Tomasz Janeczko" <amibroker@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

Using most latest betas (4.31.x or higher) you can use this code:

SumChange = 0;
for( lookback = 16; lookback <= 20; lookback++ )
{
   Change = Close - Ref( Close, -lookback );

   SumChange = IIF( Change > 0, 1,
                         IIF( Change < 0, -1, 0 ) );
}



Best regards,
