How about this?
 
x = condition that generates your 1,0 array
y = sum(x, range)
z = valuewhen(x, barindex(), y)
position in array = lastvalue(barindex()) - z + 1

Subject: [amibroker] Re: Finding the last true value in an array...

Sorry Barry... my terminology is confusing...

Lets say I have an array that has only true or false values in it...

Lets say the last 10 value of this array are as follows, from x
intervals ago until now...

0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0
x.................Now

Now, obviously, BarsSince(array) will return a value of 2... i.e. the
last true value was 2 intervals ago.

However, the value I'm trying to get is the last value of true in the
above x elements of the array... so I want an _expression_ that returns
8 for the above array (i.e. 8 intervals back is the last value of
true). Any ideas...?

Hopefully that's clearer now.
