custom indicator - return bar index for last bar with value greater than X

[caesarSK]

Hi all,

I try to insert a variable into the custom indicator that returns to me the closest (lowest) BAR index (for example CCI) where value is greater than 100.

example:

For last 10 bars CCI have values [0, 50, 50, 20, 50, 99, 103, 102, 101, 0]

extern int CCI_period = 14;
extern int range= 10;

//---- buffers
double CCI_buffer[];
double shift[];

int start() {
   int counted_bars = IndicatorCounted();
   if(counted_bars > 0) counted_bars--;
   int limit = Bars - counted_bars;
   for(int i = limit - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
      CCI_buffer[i] = iCCI(NULL,0,CCI_period,PRICE_WEIGHTED,i);
   }

   for(int i = limit - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
      if(CCI_buffer[i] > 100){
         shift[i] = AND NOW WHAT???;
      }
      return(false);
   }
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}

For this example shift = 6;

Any idea?

int x=0;       //Make the value 1 if you only want to check closed bars
while (x<100)
   {
   if(CCI_buffer[x]>100)
     break;
   x++;
   }
               //x=the shift that you want

ok, this code is particle works. but... I need to make the function for each column return its own value.

for example:

- last value bigger than 150 is on bar[10], next last is on bar[20]

and function return for

- bar[0] - 10

- bar[1] - 9

- bar[2] - 8

- ....

- bar[10] - 0

until this point the function works well

the problem occurs after bar[10]. the function returns for each additional bar 0 (bar[11] - 0, bar[12] - 0,...)

I need this:

- bar[11] - 9

- bar[12] - 8

- ....

- bar[20] - 0

I tried everything possible but without result. I do not know where I'm making a mistake. I need it for the test (to see the last value for each bar). In live trading it works well.

my code:

   for(int i = limit-1; i >= 0; i--) {
      int x = 0;
      while (x <= 100) { //search in last 100 bars
         if(CCI_buffer[x] > 150){ //if CCI is bigger than 150
            last_bar[i] = 0;
            break;
         }
         x++;
      }
      if(x-i <= 0){
         last_long[i] = 0;
      } else if(x == 100) {
         last_long[i] = NULL;
      } else {
         last_long[i] = x-i;
      }
   }

no idea anyone?
