hi, what the code below does: it calculates "Setup" which has a "1" where ever
C closes below the BBandBOT. Then I subject the array "Setup" to the loop. When
inside the "i" loop and it finds a "1" then it enters the "j" loop and will
make a number of "waitPeriod" bars "0" that follow the "1" bar at bar "i". When
finished with the "j" loop I tell it that i = j so that it enters the "i" loop
at the value of "j" etc.
So basicly if a "1" is found in the array "Setup" it zeros out the next
"waitPeriod" bars. I do not know of an array based calculation in AFL that
could do it more simple.
SetBarsRequired(10000,10000);
triggerPercentage = 1.03;
waitPeriod = 15;
Setup = C < BBandBot(C,20,2);
for (i = 0; i < BarCount - waitPeriod; i++) {
if (Setup[ i ]) {
for (j = i + 1; j < i + waitPeriod; j++) {
Setup[ j ] = 0;
}
i = j;
}
}

Would you mind translating into plain English the for - if loop
please? I've looked at the examples in the user's guide but I can't
follow the AFL.
Thanks
