[amibroker] Using booleans to weed out useless criteria

["bacu_robert" <bacu_robert@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello group:

To analyze whether I have the best conditions for determining a buy, I would like to use booleans to weed out the useless crtieria, but I cannot figure out how to write it.  For the pseudo code I wrote below, I don't know if I want to be more than or less than a optimized value of CCI(period).  I know that I can manually run several tests to discover the right symbol, but I would rather take the lazy way and let the computer do the work for me, especiall when I add several criteria.

It seems so simple, but what I have written does not work.  Can someone looke this over and tell me what I am doing wrong?


period = 12;
int_cc_b = Optimize("CCI bool b",  0,   0,   1,  1 );
cc       = Optimize("CCI",        -0,-150, 150, 20 );
int_cc_a = Optimize("CCI bool a",  0,   0,   1,  1 );

bool_cc_a= False;
bool_cc_b= False;

if (int_cc_a == 0) bool_cc_a = False; else bool_cc_a = True;
if (int_cc_b == 0) bool_cc_b = False; else bool_cc_b = True;

Buy = MACD() > Signal()
 AND (bool_cc_b AND CCI(period) < cc)
 AND (bool_cc_a AND CCI(period) > cc)
;

Sell  = MACD() < Signal()
;

Thanks in advance,
Rob
