Thanks TJ,
The code that I listed was just a test to see what
the counters were doing and what I could use as a counter. Guess I have to stay
away from arrays unless I use subscripts.
What I am trying to do is to start the loop only
after X bars because the formula will be referencing X past bars like the SUM
function.
Then I need it to do X number of passes through
the loop for the calculation.
I'll get it. I just had some confusion as to
looping per bar as opposed to looping for the whole array.
Thanks,
-CS

Hello,
BarIndex() is a funciton that returns array
of numbers representing
ordinal number of corresponding bars.
It is essentially the same as (Cum(1) - 1)
but faster.
<A
href="">http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?name=BARINDEX
It makes no sense to write the code as one
below.
because variable 'i' ALREADY CONTAINS current bar
index.
So it should be simply (example showing how to calculate
cumulative sum of closing prices)
A1 = 0
for( bar = 0; bar < BarCount; bar++)
{
A1 = A1 + Close[ bar ];
}
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

Jason,
Not when used as:
<FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff

for (i=0;i <
BarCount;i++) {
A1=C[BarIndex() - i];
}
I am greeted
with: Error 6. Array subscript has to be a
number

I
will try nested FORs. Maybe.

<SPAN
class=219203313-27052003>I think Barsindex IS a number. It returns
basically the same number as cum(1) the difference being that
barsindex is faster and one is zero based..

Re: [amibroker] Boolean question
Thanks Graham,
I'm slowly making my way through this. I
don't have to use an IF. And won't again.
Now it seems that
barindex() is not a number. As in
Close[Barindex()-i]. Sure looks like a
number to me.
