Question about user defined input parameters

[thebigarch]

Hi
I'm a bit confused about user defined input parameters. For example :
{
if (IsFirstTickOfBar)
priorSum = sum;

sum = priorSum + Input[0] - (CurrentBar >= Period ? Input[Period] : 0);
Value[0] = sum / (CurrentBar < Period ? CurrentBar + 1 : Period);
}

I assume Input[Period] means sum of the input for the last n period. Is that correct?
And for the same logic if I want to calculate the average high of the last n bar, the code would be High[Period] / Period, meaning High[Period] is sum of high from the last N bar. Is that correct?

Thank you very much

Hello thebigarch,

Thank you for your post.

Input[Period] would the value of the Input Series the number of (Period) bars ago, it is not a sum.

If you wanted to average High over a period you would just do SMA(High, n).

Please let me know if you have any questions.
