Ever wanted to know how to find an inside day that is also a Narrow Range 7 (NR7?) Now you can, and the best part is you get over 4 HOURS OF VIDEO INSTRUCTION – one for each tutorial. Learn how to create your own functions or apply stops and profit objectives. There are 13 total tutorials ranging from creating Strategies to PaintBars. It is the Foundation Edition and is designed for the new user of EasyLanguage or for those you would like to have a refresher course. Hello to All! I just published the first book in this series. Re-inventing the wheel is A-Okay if you are using it as a tool for validation. All you have to do is use the template and modify the calculations.

So now you have re-usable code for passing a 2-D array to a function. We validated code that packed a 2-D array with data and then passed it to a function that then accessed the data correctly and applied a known formula and compared it to a known entity. Big Deal right! Why did I go through all this to do something that was already done? Great programming is not supposed to re-invent the wheel. The replication of the CCI using a 2-D Array instead of the built-in H, L, C data streams, if programmed correctly, should create the exact same results and it does, hence the one line. Here is where your programming is graded.

Why did just one line show up? Both CCI Functions with same Lengths – were did second line go to? Make Your Unique Coding Replicate a Known Entity – If You Can Now the following graphic uses the same length parameters for both functions. In the following graphic I use 14 for CCI_2D and 9 for the built-in CCI. Also notice how I increment numRows on each bar – this is the housekeeping that keeps that array synched with the chart. Notice lines 16 and 17 where I am plotting both function results – my CCI_2D and CCI. ĚvgDev = AvgDev + AbsValue( ( H + L + C ) - Mean ) ĬCI_2D = ( value1 + value2 + value3 - Mean ) / (. Sum2 = sum2 + AbsValue((value1 + value2 + value3) - Mean) If currentRow > length then // make sure enough rowsįor rowNum = currentRow - (length-1) to currentRow The first thing the function will need is the data – here is what it will look like. Derive Your Function FirstĬreate the function first by prototyping what the function will need in the formal parameter list (funciton header). The CCI function accesses data via the global High, Low and Close data streams and then applies a mathematical formula to derive a result. If your program replicates the known entity, then you know that you are close to a solution. However, when you are trying out something new or in this case an application of a different data structure (array) its always great to check your results against a known entity. This exercise is for demonstration purposes only as the existing CCI function works just fine.
