Consecutive Counting in Easy/power Language

[dezerter 10]

Hi, I'm pertty much new to coding and it seems I've got stuck with this issue. What I'm trying to make is an indicator that counts the consecutive close of a N bar and multiplys it by the n+1 close of a bar. And I want to make all the calculation through i.e. 6 last bars.In this way:

 

(C[5] * C[6})-(C[4] *C[5)-(C[3] *C[4])-(C[2] * C[3])...

 

Even though it is what I what I'd like to have it as an input value which I can later optimize, therefore I came up with this line;

 

FOR COUNTER = 1 TO LEN // counter in this case is the var and len the number 
                                                    //of bars for consecutive counting   

BEGIN

        VALUE1 = (CLOSE[COUNTER ] * CLOSE[COUNTER-1]);

END;

 

Unfortunately the result differs. Can someone help. Much appreciation.

If you write out each line in long hand style rather than trying to do this in a loop then you will have a greater chance of finding your mistake. At the moment it looks like you're talking about multiplying by close[n+1] but your code is multiplying by close[counter-1]. One is using addition and the other uses subtraction.

Yes indeed. I made a mistake by putting subtraction instead of addition. Thank you for pointing this out. The proper code;

 

 VALUE1 = (CLOSE[COUNTER ] * CLOSE[COUNTER+1]);
