Basically, each time
I encounter N consecutive up days, I want to perform some analysis to
determine if a buy condition was met or not. I think I understand what
you have pointed out and it looks like I will have to iterate through all bars
to accomplish what I want to do.
What I was hoping to
do was do part in _javascript_ and part in AFL. For instance if N = 3, AFL would
look like this I think:
NPriceUpBars = C > Ref( C, -1 ) &&
Ref( C, -1 ) > Ref
( C, -2 ) &&
Ref (C,
-2 ) > Ref( C, -3 ) ;
But what I wanted to
do is perform the above “AND” (&&) operation in a loop so that all I
would have to do is change my ‘N’ variable, and the code would
work.
Have I explained what
I am attempting to do?

Hi. “C” is an
array of data. PriceUp is a Boolean. They are
incompatible.
What are you trying
to accomplish? Where is this code being executed? Why not
use straight AFL?
Regards,
Dan.

Can anyone tell me why I am
getting an error with the code below:
...
priceUp =
True;
c1 = C;
for ( i =
1; i <= N;
i++ )
{
curBar = i * -1;
priceUp = priceUp && c1 > Ref( C, curBar );
if ( !priceUp ) break;
...
}
…
I am getting an error on the line
in red above. The error is
“Condition in IF, WHILE, FOR statements has to be Numeric
or Boolean type. You can not use array here, please use [] (array
subscript operator) to access array
elements”
(BTW< the
Edit->Copy Error message function in Formula Editor is not working for
me, is this a bug?)
