[amibroker] Re: Is it possible to assign to an array the previous value?

 

David,


The IIF() function calculates each of its arguments before calculating its output, so your formula
IIf(Condition2, -1, Ref(MySignal,-1)
yields an array which consists of -1 at bars where condition2 is true and Null where it is false (except for bar 499 where you pre-assigned 0 to MySignal).
If you want to resolve conflicting signals and carry along the previous signal until it flips, you can try,

Filter = 1;
MySignal = 0; // No signals yet

AddColumn(MySignal, "Check Signals: Initiation");

Condition1=EMA(C,10) > EMA(C,20);
Condition2=EMA(C,20) < EMA(C,40);
ConflictResolve = ...<write your own logic>...

MySignal = IIF(Condition1 AND Condition2, ConflictResolve, MySignal);
AddColumn(MySignal, "Check Signals: Conflict Condition");

MySignal = IIF(Condition1 AND NOT Condition2, 1, MySignal);
AddColumn(MySignal, "Check Signals: Condition1 only");

MySignal = IIF(Condition2 AND NOT Condition1, -1, MySignal);
AddColumn(MySignal, "Check Signals: Condition2 only");

MySignal = ValueWhen(MySignal, MySignal, 2); 
AddColumn(MySignal, "Check Signals: Wait For Flip");

Hi,

I did not read the whole story.

Aron gave a snippet that may help.

Hello,

Let's imagine i have two very different ema crossovers and i want to make sure that i don't get conflicting values so i first check the buy and if not then i check sell, if not either then i want previous value of signal.

Why is not getting the array the previous value?




MySignal[499]=0;

Condition1=EMA(C,10) > EMA(C,20);
Condition2=EMA(C,20) < EMA(C,40);

MySignal=IIf(Condition1, 1, IIf(Condition2, -1, Ref(MySignal,-1)));

Buy = MySignal==1;
Sell=  MySignal==-1;


Thanks and Best regards,
