No, This is still looking into the future, just much slower ;)
By virtue of iterating through *all* bars the first time around, you have gathered information about later bars (i.e. the future) that you are then making use of during earlier bars the second time around. It is not possible to do what you are wanting to do, without looking into the future. Mike --- In [email protected], "booker_1324" <booker_1...@...> wrote: > > Hi Mike, > > Does this have any merit?
