why prev_calculated - 1?
boscomanilow128:
Can you post at least one example of code.
hello guys,
I have been thinking over days already, it seems that for all indicators, any counter with i = prev_calculated could do more than fine as it points towards the previous candle which is already a calculated figure. why bother to do i = prev_calculated - 1 at all?
actually it seems to me that if prev_calculated really mean previously calculated, then we should even set i = prev_calculated + 1 for our calculation in OnCalculate()... Why not?
