How do I create a loop/function/anything that'll check the amount of bars that have happened since a certain period?
Balloooon:
It's for an Ea.
For example I want the EA to count the amount of bars(starting from 0) that appeared since an MA crossover.
I just don't understand the logic that will 'BarsSinceMACrossover++' every new bar. - Regards
Pseudo code:
while MA crossover not found yet
MA crossover happened at shift bar number.did MA crossover happen on this bar shift ? if yes exit while loop
increment the shift count
while MA crossover not found yet MA crossover happened at shift bar number. | for(int BarsSinceMACrossover = 0; BarsSinceMACrossover < Bars; BarsSinceMACrossover++){ double maFastCur = iMA(NULL,0, Fast, ... BarsSinceMACrossover), maFastPre = iMA(NULL,0, Fast, ... BarsSinceMACrossover + 1), maSlowCur = iMA(NULL,0, Slow, ... BarsSinceMACrossover), maSlowPre = iMA(NULL,0, Slow, ... BarsSinceMACrossover + 1); bool wasAbove = maFastPre > maSlowPre, isAbove = maFastCur > maSlowCur; if(isAbove != wasAbove) break; // Crossed at BarsSinceMACrossover } if(BarsSinceMACrossover == Bars) ... // None (tester?) |
