Return Custom Indicator value within a window of time?
HI: First post, thanks for the assistance ;√)
The following simple "for" loop, looks back X number of days and indicates if the Volume
has exceeded the moving avg of volume by at least 4 Std Deveations.
{VOLUME> SDV CHECK WITHIN X# OF DAYS}
FOR WXD2 = 0 TO WXDST BEGIN
If VOLUME (WXD2) > SDVOL2
THEN VOLDCOUNT = WXD2;
End ;
WXD2 = WITHIN X DAYS, WXDST = IMPUT OF NUMBER OF DAYS YOU WANT TO LOOKBACK.
That works just fine. I am encountering a problem when the indicator is custom and I want the same lookback ability as the reserved word Volume provides, i.e., Volume(#). Where number is my lookback days counter. Below I am using the same loop, but the trigger is now the number of long tails in the previous X number of days.
The EasyLanguage compile error that I am receiving is: "Cannot implicitly convert Numerical to True False" I have tried to assign TSCOUNT to a new variable like "Value1" as suggested in the error code directory but still get the same error code.
{CHECK TSCOUNT > 9 WITHIN X# OF DAYS}
FOR WXD1 = 0 TO WXDST BEGIN
IF TSCOUNT(WXD1) > 9
THEN TCDCOUNT = WXD1:
End ;
Grateful for any help or sugestions. More than glad to share any code relating to this issue.

it's hard to say without knowing the full code. It could simply be that a variable is declared as boolean and now you try to store a numerical value with it. Besides that referencing previous bar values should be done with square brackets and not round brackets. At least the current Tradestation versions won't compile
where Volume is a reserved word. Which platform are you using?

Thanks, the problem was the omission of the square brackets. I assumed because I was using a variable to determine the days back that it should be () not []. Don't know why I made that assumption, but changing them eliminated the problem.
