RE: [amibroker] Re: PREV

["Donald F Lindberg" <dlindber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stan,

Here is code I found in the AFL Library for Guppy countback lines.

 

--------------------------begin code -------------------

/* Stephane Carrasset's Countback Line (CBL) popularized by Daryl Guppy

Refer to amibroker posting 30th December 2004 */

nR=2;

Cbl[nR]=Null;

bCBL=False;

for( i=nR; i < BarCount; i++)

{

if( (Low[i-2]<Low[i-1]) && (Low[i-1]<Low[i]) )

{

Cbl[i] = Low[i-2];

bCBL = True;

}

else if (bCBL)

{

if (Low[i] < Cbl[i-1])

{

Cbl[i] = Cbl[i-1];

bCBL = False;

}

else

{

n = nR;

minval[i] = Low[i];

breakloop= False;

for (j = 1; NOT(breakloop) && j <= i; j++)

{

if (Low[i-j] < minval[i])

{

if (n>1)

{

minval[i] = Low[i-j];

n--;

}

else

{

Cbl[i] = Low[i-j];

breakloop=True;

}

}

}

if (Cbl[i] < Cbl[i-1])

Cbl[i] = Cbl[i-1];

}

}

else

{

Cbl[i] = Cbl[i-1];

}

if (Cbl[i]==0)

Cbl[i] = Cbl[i-1];

}

Plot(Cbl,"Guppy Countback Line",colorGold,styleThick,1);

Thank you Tomasz I used PREV and the function seems to work OK,
except the line drawn on the chart doesn't seem correct, guess I got
it wrong. I'm trying to duplicate Guppys CountBack function, has
anyone already done this? I would realy appreciate seeing how to do
it! The MetaStock code is public and is as follows"

HighDays := Input("Enter # days to cover last HIGH for CBL calc'n:",
3, 55, 13);

If(HIGH < HHV(HIGH, HighDays), {then ...} PREV, {previous CBLhi,
else...}
If(Ref(L,-2) < Ref(L,-1) AND Ref(L,-2) < L AND Ref(L,-1) < L,
{then ...} Ref(L,-2), {2nd day back low, else...}
If((Ref(L,-3)< Ref(L,-2) AND Ref(L,-3) < Ref(L,-1) AND Ref(L,-3) < L)
AND (Ref(L,-2)< L
OR Ref(L,-1) < L), {then ... } Ref(L,-3), {3rd day back low,
else...}
If((Ref(L,-4)< Ref(L,-3) AND Ref(L,-4) < Ref(L,-2) AND Ref(L,-4) < Ref
(L,-1) AND Ref(L,-4) < L) AND (Ref(L,-3)< L
OR Ref(L,-2) < L
OR Ref(L,-1) < L), {then... } Ref(L,-4), {4th day back low, else...}
If((Ref(L,-5)< Ref(L,-4) AND Ref(L,-5) < Ref(L,-3) AND Ref(L,-5) < Ref
(L,-2) AND Ref(L,-5) < Ref(L,-1) AND Ref(L,-5) < L) AND (Ref(L,-4)
<L
OR Ref(L,-3) < L
OR Ref(L,-2) < L
OR Ref(L,-1) < L), {then ...} Ref(L,-5), {5th day back low, else...}
PREV )))))

Hope someone can help, thank you.
