RE: [amibroker] How to get a number from an array

 

I had already done that. I get a horizontal line at the last value of close.

As far as I know in AB there are now arrays of strings.

Try this and see what you get: Plot(StrToNum(NumToStr(close)),"",colorblack);

StrToNum
- convert string to number

String manipulation
(AFL 2.5)

 

SYNTAX

StrToNum( string )

RETURNS

NUMBER

FUNCTION

Converts string to number.

Alan, I think your wrong.

EntryBar is an array.

NumToStr(EntryBar) converts the last value of the array to a string.

StrToNum(NumToStr(EntryBar)) recreates an array of last value of EntryBar array.

This is one way to change an array to a number:
Bar = StrToNum(NumToStr(EntryBar));

Hello there,

in order to obtain the highest peak value of the bars after the entry bar  I've written this code:

 

Buy = IIf(<entry condition>,True,0);

EntryBar = IIf(<entry condition>,BarIndex(),0);

for( i = EntryBar; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
   PeakValue = HHV(H,(Bar - i);
   ....
}

 

This code doesn't work; the AFL reports the error nr. 6 : "Condition in IF, WHILE, FOR statement must numeric or boolean type; you cannot use array here...".

How can I change the variable EntryBar from an array into a number? I've tried "Bar = EntryBar" but it's the same thing.

Thanks to anyone have an answer.

 

Regards
