hi guys

i have a counter based on a condition and what i would like to know is how to create an one dimentional array that will allign all the closing values when the counter value is 1..
(the counter value is one everytime the condition occurs).
the chart displays the counter values...

my question has to do with the kind of loop required to populate such an array..

so if the counter is mycounter and the array myarr i have tried

for j = 1 to mycounter begin
myarr[j] = c[j];
end;

also

if mycounter = 1 then
for j = 1 to mycounter begin
myarr[j] = c[j];
end;

but it didnot work...

any help on this will be much appreciated.

what do you mean by 'align all the closing values'? what do you want the indicator to plot?

Tell me what is this SUPPOSED to do?

[andypap]

suppose that the condition that sets the counter is a bullish key reversal..
and the array holds 20 elements..


every time a bullish key reversal happens the counter is 1 and incrementing by 1 for all the bars beteen key reversals..
when the counter resets to 1 the array is populated with the closing values of the last 20 keyreversals in the chart and will keep those values unchanged unill a new bullish key reversal appears ant the counter resets to 1 again..


i hope that this will be clear enough..


many regards

thanks for this answer but
what about arr[2] etc...

also 20 was an example
the array elements should be contolled via length input..

I see,

what you want to do is preserve the array... at least that is how you do it Visual Basic ---

redim preserve array()


I am trying to find a resource for this on EL -- haven't found it yet.

thanks frank
i will appreciate much if you cross something like this to let me know..
i have tried so far a few different loops but i couldnot do it...
