[amibroker] How to code For loops without refering to array elements

Hi all 

For up trending stoks, I want to find the shortest Simple moving 
average period values that do not cross the price within any 52 bar 
period for a portfolio of securities. Obviously different stocks 
will have different period values at any given point in time and 
also they will very with time within a stock.

I started coding the following.  But it seems the variables that we 
can use in a For loop can only be used for Array element and not 
the  way general computer languages like Pascal work.  

I wold appreciate if someone can help me to get this code to work - 
it appears that the j variable cannot be used to increment the 
moving av period !!

Thanks in advance



//==================================================
// this checks whether the price is above its moving av 52 bars ago 
and if so checks whether the close crossed mov av during the last 52 
bars for a range of moving av periods and return the moing av period 
value when it crosses

function WCBelowMALine(C) 
{
result = 0;
for (j=52; j<3; j--)
{
result = IIf(Ref(C,-52) < Ref(MA(C,j),-52), -1,IIf(Hold(Cross(MA
(C,J),C),52),j+1 ,9));
}
return result; 
} 

//==================================================
