Title: Simple code problem
Hi,
This is my first attempt at using the built in language to program. I wrote the code below, a simple moving average, which looks correct but only works correctly when “Periods” has a value of 3. Any other value and the resulting line has a much greater value than the closing prices. I know there are functions to do this, but I’m just trying to make an example to teach myself.
Periods = Param("Periods", 10, 2, 200, 1, 1 );
n = 0;
for ( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ ){
if( i > Periods ){
for ( j = i - (Periods-1); j <= Periods; j++ ){
n = n + Ref(Close,-j);
}
}
}
n = n / Periods;
Plot( n, "MA", ParamColor( "Color", colorCycle ), ParamStyle("Style"));
However, it seems more sense to me to code it the following way, which slows the software down and also ends up with the wrong values. Am I missing something with the way the flow of the code works in AmiBroker.
Periods = Param("Periods", 10, 2, 200, 1, 1 );
for ( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ ){
if( i > Periods ){
n = 0;
for ( j = Periods; j >= 0; j-- ){
n = n + Ref(Close,-j);
}
n = n / Periods;
Plot( n, "MA", ParamColor( "Color", colorCycle ), ParamStyle("Style"));
}
}
Thanks
