Hi,
I'm trying to write an AFL to draw support trendline (PS. I'm aware that there
is existing trendline AFLs in the library). There is a section where I can't
think of other ways but to use loop (probably should be defined as a loop in
another loop). This slows down the AFL speed tremendously. Would anyone be
able to think of a better way to improve the following ?
The logic of the code is this: The first point of the support/trend line has
been identified as (SupportX1, SupportY1). The following code then attempts to
find the next point (SupportX2, SupportY2) of the trendline. A bar-by-bar
search approach is adopted (hence the loop). The bar with the Low that forms
the lowest gradient line is the target here (assigned SupportX2).
Any help is appreciated.

gradient0 = ( Ref(L, -1) - SupportY1) / (-1 + SupportX1);
for (i=1; i<BarCount; i++)
{
loopstartX = 1;
while(loopstartX < (SupportX1[i]))
{
gradient = ( Ref(L,-loopstartX) - SupportY1 )/(-loopstartX + SupportX1);
if ((gradient[i]) < (gradient0[i]))
{
gradient0[i] = gradient[i];
SupportX2[i]= loopstartX;
}
nxsup00 = nxsup00 + 1;
}
}
