<SPAN
class=364114818-12102003>one thing you said interested me, about how the AFL you
presented was "how it is implemented in AB already". does that mean that the
built in indicators are coded in AFL somehow? I had assumed they were C++ or
whatever language the main program was written in. if they are AFL, is there any
way we can replace them with modified versions like this? <SPAN
class=364114818-12102003>if not, perhaps some future version of AB will allow
that.

<SPAN

noted.

Oh well, the formula I have given presented how it is
implemented in AB already
since you were trying incorrect code for
MeanDev.
It is easy to modify the code I provided to variable period
as it involves only
replacing range (scalar) with range[ i ] (indexed array
element)

0<FONT

for<FONT

result[ i ] = 0<FONT

tm = mean[ i ]; <FONT

it's still not working when I pass an array for the CCIx period, which

The mean deviation in CCI requires that SMATP does NOT
move over the period.
In your
MD = Sum(Abs(SMATP -
avg), period);
SMATP is
moving.
You can not code itwith
SUM or MA. You must use looping for that.

0<FONT

graham.
<SPAN
class=806081305-12102003>
<SPAN
class=806081305-12102003>first, I think AB's Avg is (H+L+C)/3, so we
don't need to calculated it again.
<SPAN
class=806081305-12102003>
<SPAN
class=806081305-12102003>second, I think the problem we're both having
is the mean deviation code. my loop version sums, over 20 days, the
absolute values of the difference between TODAY'S SMATP and the typical
price of that day.
<SPAN
class=806081305-12102003>
<SPAN
class=806081305-12102003>this non-loop version is close, not the results
it gives, but conceptually:
<SPAN
class=806081305-12102003>
<SPAN
class=806081305-12102003> MD = Sum(Abs(SMATP - avg),
period);
<SPAN
class=806081305-12102003>
<SPAN
class=806081305-12102003>what's wrong I think is that for each day being
summed, it uses the SMATP value for that day, same as it uses the avg
value for that day. but as I said above, it needs the avg for each day,
but the SMATP value used should always be from the current day, the one
being calculated, not the value on each of the previous (Period)
days.
<SPAN
class=806081305-12102003>
<SPAN

PMTo: amibroker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: [amibroker] AFL
formula for CCIre the earlier discussion of using arrays
as paremters to built-inindicators, I need a version of the CCI
that can take an array for itsperiod.here's a description
of how the 20-period CCI is calculated,
fromStockCharts.com: 1) Calculate today's Typical Price
(TP) = (H+L+C)/3 where H = high; L =low, and C = close.
2) Calculate today's 20-day Simple Moving Average of the Typical
Price(SMATP). 3) Calculate today's Mean Deviation.
First, calculate the absolute valueof the difference between
today's SMATP and the typical price for each ofthe past 20 days.
Add all of these absolute values together and divide by 20to find
the Mean Deviation. 4) The final step is to apply the
Typical Price (TP), the Simple MovingAverage of the Typical Price
(SMATP), the Mean Deviation and a Constant(.015) to the following
formula: CCI = (Typical Price -
SMATP) / (.015 x Mean Deviation)according to my tests, this
matches the built-in CCI exactly: MD =
0; // MD is Mean Deviation
for(i = 0; i < period; i++) { MD = MD +
Abs(SMATP - Ref(avg, -i)); } MD = MD /
period;can anyone see how to do the same thing with AFL array
processing instead ofthe
loop?thanks,dave
