[amibroker] Re: Looping stuff driving me nuts, please help...

When you loop through the price arrays the bars are identified with [ i ]
thus ref one bar in the past is [i-1]. I believe there is more explanation
within the hep files, under using loops etc
A simple MA is just Sum/Number  eg Sum( C, 5 ) / 5

This is close, at least there's a plot and very similar to the 
regular MA though not completely.

Btw it is not an exponential but a simple mov.avg. i was trying to 
define. The "formula" sure is o.k., the problem is in the coding (in 
mine).

At first sight I don't get why it is necessary to use the subscript 
[], need some time to digest.

Should you run into the exact match please do post it. Appreciate 
your help.
