OK, my apologies....I did not even look at the link but went to the trouble
of copying the code from my hard drive, thinking it would help you.  If I
had looked at the link content I would not have sent the paste.

Well i am new here and i joined this group to seek help so i don't want to
argue with anybody.
i just want to make the remark that your reply was just a simple copy and
paste from the link i gave on my post ... (maybe the reason why i gave that
link could be that i already knew that the answer is to make the right code
change inside that code ? And maybe the reason why i asked some help here is
that i could'nt find myself the right code portion to change ?)

Anyway thanks again.


Back to my question :

>From that original code
(http://www.amibroker.com/library/detail.php?id=268 )

i am trying to set the SAR indicator to compute from an EMA(close,5) for
instance instead of the classical close

After more research it <<seems>> that the code to change could be :



original :

....

hp = High [ 0 ];
lp = Low [ 0 ];

.....
		psar [ i ] = psar [ i-1 ] + af * ( hp - psar [ i-1 ]); 	
.....
		psar [ i ] = psar [ i-1 ] + af * ( lp - psar [ i-1 ]); .....

changed :

hp = EMA(High [ 0 ],5);
lp = EMA(Low [ 0 ],5);


But with that change i get the error 8 - type mismatch Could someone give me
a clue for solving that problem ?

Any helpful answer would be welcome

Thanks
