[amibroker] Re: Help understanding array processing

Barry,
I really recommend to read this article:
http://www.amibroker.com/kb/2008/07/03/quickafl/

this line does the same thing as your for loop, but you need to be
aware that BarCount is changing as it explained in the above referenced article. 

Plot(HHV(C,BarCount),"a",colorRed);
