Bill, Thank you for your insigth and explanation. I tried this and it sure can help. This discussion als provided me with an alternative solution. Just put the datenum() condition in the filter and in the condition at the same time. I'me gonna try these options and work my way trough a few examples. Within 24 hours from 1 problem to 2 solutions! Thanks again for your help.
kind regards, Frans. --- In [email protected], "wavemechanic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > cum() counts from the beginning of the data, as described in the function's description, but the display reflects the AA setting (e.g., last 20 bars). I gather that this is a problem and you only want true/false values for the last xxx bars. One way is to modify the code as follows: > > lookback = param("lookback", 10, 1, 1000, 1); > barsincum = barcount - 1 - lookback; > trueresult = c > o and barindex() > barsincum; > falseresult = c <= o and barindex() > barsincum; > > AA's parameter box provides control of param(). The number of AA rows displayed is controlled by AA's range setting. However, only trueresult and falseresult are evaluated when the bars are in the barsincum range and will be displayed in the last "barsincum" rows. The rows between barsincum and the range setting will all be 0. > > Bill > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "mpmafma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2007 7:38 PM > Subject: [amibroker] Re: Summation within exploration > > > > Bill, > > > > Thanks for your reply.
