Ok, here's a way to do it (warning: untested code, I'm just
free-styling here...)
UpVol =IIf(C > O, V, -1);
DownVol =IIf(C < O, V, -1);
UpVol[0] = DownVol[0] = V[0]; // Be sure to start with something
// Loop through to pad the arrays
for (i = 1; i < BarCount; i++)
{
if (UpVol[i] < 0)
{
UpVol[i] = UpVol[i - 1];
}
if (DownVol[i] < 0)
{
DownVol[i] = DownVol[i - 1];
}
Period = Param("Period",3,2,10,1);
UpVolAvg = EMA( UpVol, Period ) ;
DownVolAvg = EMA( DownVol, Period ) ;
Plot(UpVolAvg,"UpVolume", colorGreen);
Plot(DownVolAvg, "DownVolume", colorRed);
