I am trying to convert TradeStation code to AFl. I am a beginner in
essay language. If someone familiar with trade station code can
explain how the code below works I think I can figure out how to do
the conversion. The code below is a function called by another
indicator. I am confused by what appears to be variables and
constants and how they are handled. Any explanation would be hugely
helpful and appreciated.
[LegacyColorValue = true];
{ TSMStDevConfidence : Standard deviation confidence level (in
percent)
Returns confidence level, e.g., if stdev = 2.0 then confidence =
95.44,
including both ends of the curve. To find confidence of one end of
the
distribution, divide result by 2. }
inputs: price(numericseries), length(numericsimple);
vars: n(0), pi(3.1415926), e(2.7182818), exp(0), sd(0), diff
(0), diff2(0),
const(0);
n = length;
if currentbar < length then n = currentbar;
diff = price - average(price,n);
diff2 = power(diff,2);
sd = squareroot(average(diff2,n));
exp = sd*sd / 2;
const = 1.00 / squareroot(2*pi);
TSMStDevConfidence =100 - 100 * const * power(e,-exp);
