RE: [amibroker] loop vs arrays

["TOMSTI" <tcsibor@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the reply. I did as you suggest, but I am having a problem using the Plottext function to try and mark the top of the bar. Is there a way to get the x and y coordinates of the bar array that corresponds to the bar that meets the definition? I can use Plotshape, but it is text I need to show. I have tried various methods but no luck?

You need to define your 3bar pattern:

Pattern = your definition;

 

BarsNumber = Valuewhen(Pattern,barIndex(),1);  // this gives you the bar index when pattern is completer

Subject: [amibroker] loop vs arrays

 

Hello All,

 

I need to plot a chart that first of all shows 3 bar swing high and swing lows. After that, I need to show and mark if a swing made a higher swing than the previous swing (or lower). I can do this using a loop and remembering the previous swing high or swing low bar, but am wondering if there is any way of avoiding a loop and accomplishing the same thing?

 

Any thoughts appreciated. I have gone through the archives and the knowledge base, but, unless I missed it, I did not find a solution.

 

Thanks

Tom
