[amibroker] Re: Having a nasty time figuring this APL out.

[Homar Simpson]

  As I mentioned I've been programming for 30 years.

  What I'm doing here is assigning a SINGLE boolean variable based on
the comparison of array contents. If I did this in VB or VBA , there
would be no issue. Are you saying  the boolean takes on the
characteristic of the tested array?  I think Tradestation does
something like that.

  If thats the case , how would you 

  If I say  Var1=x(5)-y(2), then Var1 is not an array. 

  Explain how:
      if (PassTest==False)  i=0;
  generates an array error??


 Please explain the actual reason, I've read the docs and there's
nothing there to make this clear.


================================================================
Days=Param("Days To Test",3,1,15,1);

PassTest=True;

for(i=Days; i>0 ; i--) 

{
TestVolume = IIf((Ref(Volume ,-i+1)> Ref(Volume ,-i)),True,False); 

PassTest = IIf(testvolume == False,False,PassTest );


if (PassTest==False)  i=0;


}


_TRACE("--------------------------------- ");

FL1=PassTest;
FL2=Close >Param("ClosingPrice",5,0,999999,1);  

Filter = FL1 AND FL2;

AddColumn(Close,"Close",1.4);
AddColumn(Volume,"Volume",1.0);
AddTextColumn( FullName(), "Full name", 77);

AddColumn(Ref(Volume,-1),"Volume -1",1.0);
AddColumn(Ref(Volume,-2),"Volume -2",1.0);
AddColumn(Ref(Volume,-3),"Volume -3",1.0);
