what is wrong with this syntax

[junkone]

int noOfBarsBelowM50=CountIf(delegate{return CCI(14)<-5;},CurrentBar-RecentCCI200CrossAbove);

RecentCCI200CrossAbove is declared as integer.

i get compile error @

i am trying to count the number of instances the CCI(14) went below -50 in the past from the point CCI(14) crossed above 200.

junkone,

Try this one:

int noOfBarsBelowM50=CountIf(delegate{return CCI(14)[0]<-50;},CurrentBar-RecentCCI200CrossAbove);

[junkone]

hmmm. thanks. just wondering if i use cci(14)[0], would it not just look at the current bar.
just trying to learn here.

Yes, it will start from the current bar and will go back up to the lookbackperiod you have defined

What int is RecentCCI200CrossAbove? Must be a Bar numbe. The result of the this substraction must be bars 10, 100 ... This is the lookbackperiod.
