Re: [amibroker] Bitten the bullet on loops

I think your last comment about loops makes some sense to me and is in fact 
exactly the issue I have been working on.  Sometimes you need variable x to 
define variable y, but you can't define x until you define y !!

For instance:

Buy = Buycond and NumberofPriorBuys < 3;
NumberofPriorBuys = sum(buy, barssince(daystart));

But how can I use a loop to solve this mess?

Thanks in advance...
