porko: So I end up creating 75 lines of iCustom code 9one for each 75 period) and doing the LWMA calculation. Is there a better way?
Unfortunately this drastically slows down testing in the strategy tester.

Why did you post your MT4 question in the
Root /
MT5 General section
instead of the MQL4 section,
(bottom of the Root page?)
General rules and best pratices of the Forum. - General - MQL5 programming forum
Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon. - Please don't post a link to or attach an image, just insert the image.
Messages Editor - "Is there a better way?" Of course there is, write a loop.Not compiled, not tested.
const int length=75, iBeg=1; double Evw=0, Ew=0; int iBar=iBeg+length, weight=0; while(iBar > iBeg){ --iBar; ++weight; double v = iCustom(MyMarket, PERIOD_CURRENT, "Simple Decycler Oscillator", SDOHighPassPeriod, SDOPrice, SDOKParam, 0, iBar); Evw += v * weight; Ew += weight; } double LWma = Evw / Ew;
Not compiled, not tested. - Loop or in-line code, will execute the same. No problem with the tester. That problem is elsewhere.

All,
Can anyone advise a better (read: quicker) way for code to be processed when creating a LWMA of an indicator?
i.e. I create a LWMA of an indicator called SDO, but I need to use a 75 period LWMA. So I end up creating 75 lines of iCustom code 9one for each 75 period) and doing the LWMA calculation. Unfortunately this drastically slows down testing in the strategy tester.
Is there a better way?
Thanks,
Paul
try below code.
not tested.
int limit = 75; double sdo = 0, x = 0, y = 0, sdolwma = 0; for (int i = 1; i<=limit; i++) { sdo = iCustom(MyMarket,PERIOD_CURRENT,"Simple Decycle Oscillator",SDOHighPassPeriod,SDOPrice,SDOKParam,0,i); x += sdo*(limit-i+1); y += i; } if(y>0) sdolwma = x/y;
Show your code. So it will be easier to help.
