Bar Lookback?

[kabott]

Hi guys, i want an indicator to calculate the amount of times a condition is true but only counting from 200 bars back till present, how do i do that?

this is what i ve got

if ( condition )
{
value++;
}

its missing the look-back, it must be really simple but beats me.

Thanks in advance

Hello Kabott,

Thank you for your post.

You would want to use if(!Historical) and then start your check working backwards. This could be done with a FOR loop.

if(!Historical)
{
     for(int i = 0; i < 200; i++)
     {
         if(condition)
            value++;
     }
}

Cal, i cant seem to find any related help on "!Historical"
i would like to do the count-back in a different way than "CountIf()" thats why i was cheking Historical, although cant make it work and cant find any help on the "!Historical" method.

Help pls

Kabott,

Historical is a true or false property.

When we check for !Historical it means we are checking when Historical is false, which only occurs once real time data starts taking over in the indicator.

The check that either Koganam or myself have offered will do the trick. It will be a matter of which one you would want to use and performance of either one.
