Hi,

Needed to create custom header function, which i put in include folder.
However, I am wondering if I can somehow optimise it even more, regarding how I call it.

in run I have:

vars Highs = series(priceHigh());
vars Lows = series(priceLow());
vars Opens = series(priceOpen());
vars Closes = series(priceClose());


Function is returning boolean and signature is like this:

bool Pattern(NumPattShortY,Highs,Lows,Closes,Opens);

Def part looks like this:

bool Pattern(int numeropattern,vars Highs, vars Lows, vars Closes, vars Opens)
{
bool PtnBaseSA;
switch(numeropattern)
{
case 1:
PtnBaseSA = abs(Opens[1]-Closes[1])<0.5*(Highs[1]-Lows[1]);
break;
case 2:
PtnBaseSA = abs(Opens[1]-Closes[5])<0.5*(Highs[5]-Closes[1]);
break;
case 3:
PtnBaseSA = abs(Opens[5]-Closes[1]) <0.5*(MaxVal(Highs,5) - MinVal(Lows,5));
break;

*
*
*
return PtnBaseSA;
}

My question is can I somehow cut this "Highs,Lows,Closes,Opens" in definition and call and change it with something shorter and more efficient (array of series ..?)?
And how then PtnBaseSA would change as well ?
Excuse me for my bad programming knowledge !


Thanks,

Neb

Can I put this:

vars Highs = series(priceHigh());
vars Lows = series(priceLow());
vars Opens = series(priceOpen());
vars Closes = series(priceClose());

In the definition of function:

bool Pattern(NumPattShortY,Highs,Lows,Closes,Opens); ??

like:

bool Pattern(int numeropattern)
{
bool PtnBaseSA;

vars Highs = series(priceHigh());
vars Lows = series(priceLow());
vars Opens = series(priceOpen());
vars Closes = series(priceClose());

switch(numeropattern)
{
case 1:
PtnBaseSA = abs(Opens[1]-Closes[1])<0.5*(Highs[1]-Lows[1]);
break;
case 2:
PtnBaseSA = abs(Opens[1]-Closes[5])<0.5*(Highs[5]-Closes[1]);
break;
case 3:
PtnBaseSA = abs(Opens[5]-Closes[1]) <0.5*(MaxVal(Highs,5) - MinVal(Lows,5));
break;

*
*
*
return PtnBaseSA;
}


Will it work the same way ?

N.

Getting

Error 041: Wrong series usage!

for this idea. Doesn't work !

Anyone ?

Thanks,

Neb

Maybe give it a try using seriesO(), seriesH()... instead? Also you don't have to put these in your method's signature if you only use them internally

Hi,

Sorry I did exclude series from signature, just did not write it correctly here.
Changed original post.
That anyway did not help.

Thanks !
