Why not get the same result?

[pequemec]

Hi in my first post
My code is:

if (Close[0] > Close[1]
&& Close[1] > Close[2]
&& Close[2] > Close[3])
Tradicional.Set(1);
else
Tradicional.Set(-1);

Compared with:

if (CurrentBar < Period)
return;

for (int i = 0; i < Period; i++)
{
if (Close[i] > Close[i+1])
Iterativos.Set(1);
else
Iterativos.Set(-1);
}

I do not get the same results.

TIA. Best regards.

pequemec,

If you could describe what you see differently between the two then we could be able to help you understand why it would be different. Thank you.

The plot obtained is different. Why? View image.

The logic in the two are fundamentally different.

In the first case, you require all 4 closes to be the greater than the previous close at the exact same time.

In the second case, what you ultimately set your plot to only depends on the last run through of your for loop. You just override old settings with each new loop through instead of assuring that all 4 closes are > than previous simultaneously.

Correct, but the question is:

Can represent case 1 with a similar logic to the case 2?
What would be the logic using looping commands?

Thank you.

You would need to keep track of each state during the loop and only at the end can you set the plot.
