compare to all data in dataseries

[darkspeed]

I have a data series that records the Close[0] for each bar.

I would like to compare the Close[0] to all of the data stored in the my data series to see if any of the prior closes are equal to the current close.

How do you compare to all data and not just a specific recorded bar?

Thank you.

Hello,

You wouldn't actually need to create your own data series for this.

Instead you could use a for loop to compare the Close[0] to Close[X]

//BARSBACK would be the distance you want to go back (you will want to ensure enough bars have been generated first

for (int i = 1; i <= BARSBACK; i++)
{
         if(Close[0]== Close[i])
     //do something
}

The following link will show you how you can ensure enough bars have been generated when working with indicators: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...urrentbars.htm

If this is for a strategy: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...srequired2.htm

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Look up MRO in the NT Help.

What would be the best method if i wanted to count the instances of a match in the last x number of bars?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You would have to write a loop.

Thanks ..

This may be a silly question but when you have a calculate on bar close set, does a loop complete on every bar close or does it only run one cycle of a loop on bar close?

Hello,

If

CalculateOnBarClose = true;

and the loop is within

OnBarUpdate()

it will run the loop all the way through at the close of each bar.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
