You understand loops, but not ExRem (Signal) & Flip (State) ? It would have been easy enough for you to come to your own realization simply by looking at an exploration after using Flip and then again after using Flip ...
In case you still don't understand, Buy = Flip(Buy, Sell); Sell = Flip(Sell, Buy); ... would set all values in the buy array to 1 from each buy until the next sell and all values in the sell array to 1 until the next buy ... Buy = ExRem(Buy, Sell); Sell = ExRem(Sell, Buy); ... would remove all but the original buy and sell in the respective arrays ... Now you can toss the loops and have your code run faster ... --- In [email protected], Grant Noble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > As someone who struggled with ExRem I can understand the confusion. > I eventually abandoned it and defined all my signals via loop code. > The whole notion of state v. signal form is something that could do with a little more explanation > in the user guide - not all of us have engineering backgrounds..
