Re: [amibroker] Boolean question

["CS" <res1wgwl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Graham,
Evidently, I can't see why what was once a Boolean 
is no longer a Boolean. I am trying to find a conditional variable that IF 
likes.
The whole point of this exercise is to start a 
loop within FOR after a certain number of bars have passed 
from the beginning of the data.
 
 
This works:
<FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff 
size=2>T1=20;Z1=True;if(Z1)for 
(i=0;i<T1;i++)     {     A1=i 
;     }
<FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff 
size=2>Plot(A1,"test",3,1);
 
Problem is, I need Z1 to be false 
until 20 bars have passed, and Z1 of course, gives no choice in 
this example.



This doesn't 
because of the "array error" in <FONT 
color=#ff0000>IF(Z1) , although there is only one 
possible response per bar, and <FONT 
color=#ff0000>Z1 sure looks Boolean to me since it is either 
true or false.
T1=20;Z1=BarIndex() > 
T1;if(Z1)for (i=0;i<T1;i++)     
{     A1=i ;     
}
<FONT 
color=#ff0000>Plot(A1,"test",3,1);


Z1 = ( (BarIndex() > T1) == true 
);  doesn't work, and of course <FONT 
color=#ff0000>Z1=IIF(BarIndex() > T1,TRUE,FALSE); 
doesn't work.
 
 
Possibly, I should write the loop as a function and 
access the function after the necessary number of bars have passed 
by:
 
Plot( IIF( Z1, 
function(loop), NULL ), "test", 
Color, Line);
 
Any other ideas?
 
Thanks,
-CS
