I'll try to address your question on this thread:

Traders Lab - Intrabar Price Behavior

[Tradewinds]

EasyLanguage now has Object Oriented Arrays. EL (EasyLanguage) calls the arrays VECTOR Arrays. Actually, EL OO has something called "Collections", which are a collection of data. There are 5 different types of Collections.

The answer to the traditional Array in EL OO is a VECTOR. But a VECTOR array can access a particular element in the array. Here are the methods that can be used in a VECTOR array.

Create Initializes a new instance of the Vector class.
At(indx) Accesses an element at the specified position in the collection.
Back Accesses the last element of the collection.
Clear Removes all elements from the collection.
Empty True if there are no elements in the collection, otherwise false.
Erase(indx) Removes an element at the specified position.
Erase(indx1,indx2) Removes the elements in the specified range of index positions.
Front Accesses the first element of the collection.
Insert(indx,obj) Adds an element (obj) before the specified index.
Insert(indx,count,obj) Adds an element (obj) repeatedly before the specified position with the given count.
Pop_back Removes the last element from the collection.
Push_back(obj) Adds a new element (obj) to the end of the collection.

This code creates two vector ARRAYs. The code inside the METHOD subroutine only runs when an order is updated. It is an Event Driven subroutine. The event is the order status changing, for example, the order goes from Sending to Sent, or Sent to Received, or from Received to Filled, or From Filled to Closed out. This Method subroutine keeps track of unfilled Buys and Sells.

var: Vector UnFilledSells( NULL ), UnFilledBuys( NULL );

method void OP1_Updated( elsystem.Object sender, tsdata.trading.OrderUpdatedEventArgs args ) 

	var: int iCount, int TheState, int QtyUnfilled, int BuyOrSell,
 		string OrdrNum, bool ItsInThere, int SellsCount, int BuysCount;

begin

Once Begin  // If the vector is created more than once, it deletes all the elements
	UnFilledSells = new Vector;  // Create the new array.
	UnFilledBuys = new Vector; 
	End;

	TheState = args.State; // Get the state of the current order
	if OP1.Orders.Count > 0 then QtyUnfilled = OP1[0].LeftQuantity else QtyUnfilled = 0;
	OrdrNum = args.OrderID;  // Get the order number of the order that was just updated
	
	if StrLen(OrdrNum) > 0 then BuyOrSell = OP1[OrdrNum].Action else BuyOrSell = 0;  // Buy = 1 Sell = 2
	
	//print(file("c:\VctrArry.txt"), "Prn1 ", "array lngth=", UnFilledSells.Count:0:0, "   |   Order Num=", OrdrNum, "   State=", TheState:0:0, "   |  Qty Entered=", QtyUnfilled:0:0, "   |   Time=", Formattime("hh:mm:ss", TradeTimeEx));

	If UnFilledSells.empty() = False then  // If the array is NOT empty, get the count of how many records
		SellsCount = UnFilledSells.Count else SellsCount = 0;  // Get  how many records are in the array
	
	If UnFilledBuys.empty() = False then  // If the array is NOT empty, get the count of how many records
		BuysCount = UnFilledBuys.Count else BuysCount = 0;  // Get  how many records are in the array
	
	ItsInThere = False;
	
	If SellsCount > 0 and BuyOrSell = 2 then begin

			ItsInThere = True;
		End;
	End;
	
	If BuysCount > 0 and BuyOrSell = 1 then begin
		For iCount = 0 to UnFilledBuys.Count - 1 begin // Loop through all the orders in the array

	If (TheState = 4 or TheState = 2) and SellsCount = 0 and BuyOrSell = 2 then begin

For example, if you wanted to compare the high of the price bar when your indicator crossed a threshold, and then compare the high of the price bar when the indicator started in a new direction, and that all happened on the same price bar, you would need to store the value of the high of the bar when the indicator crossed the threshold, then capture the value of the high of the price bar when the indicator started moving the other direction, then retrieve those two values from the array in order to compare them.

COuld code this example by normal easylanguage and not OOO.

Regular EL also has an array. I have not used the regular array. There is probably multiple ways to compare intrabar values to each other. The time could be recorded and compared.
EL has something called 'intrabarpersist'. I find it confusing and a pain. Intrabarpersist variables will hold intrabar values differently than regular variables.

Do you have an example of how to do this with regular easylanguage?

Unfortunately I can't edit my post that you are referring to. I'd change the wording, but I can't now. I stated that there was only one way to do something, but I'm sure that isn't true.
