Re: [amibroker] SetForeign() and MACD()

["Ara Kaloustian" <ara1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

NYSE and IXIS are arrays. Signal may also be an array.

The if( )  construct requires an single number.

You can use:
NYSE = LastValue(MACD) > Signal;
IXIS   = LastValue ....

This of course will work ONLY for last piece of data. Not if you want to use 
them in a backtest, which require arrays.

To use arays use the iif( condition, true value, false value ) construct
