Hello Tomasz,
Thankyou very much for the extreamly fast response. In my post, to
keep it short I actually over simplified my problem and as a result I
think misled you.
I actually wanted the function to return an element at a time into
the loop for further calculations - I just put the plot statement to
see what actually coming across which actually caused the confusion.
I have attached parts of my real code which does not appear to work -
calling the StochRSI function within a loop. Also is there an easy
way to monitor what is being returned. Please help. Thankyou in
advance
//{==============================
function StochRSI(i,Periods)
{
res=(RSI(Periods)-LLV(RSI(Periods),Periods))/(HHV(RSI
(Periods),Periods)-LLV(RSI(Periods),Periods));
result = res[i];//return ith element of the array
return result;
}
//{==============================
//: other codes
//: other codes
//{==============================
for (i = 1; i < BarCount-1; i++ )
{//begin MAIN LOOP
//:
//:
Periods = PreCalculatedArrayOutSidetheLoop[i]; //Periods vary with i
Entry2 =(C[i]*1.1>BBandBot(WPrice[i],BBpds[i], deviations[i] ) ) AND
( StochRSI(i,Periods) > 30 );
//:

}
