EL : How to Count the Bar Passed Since ...?

[emptyvault 10]

Novice question . In EL , how to count the number of bars past a certain occasion ?

 

e.g. If the Close cross over the average 10 days ago and it return a value 10 .

 

I browsed the EL reserved word manual but seems cannot find some function like 'barsince' ? It should be in EL but just maybe using another term only .Can someone tell me what is the proper name of it ?

 

thanks in advance .

Vars: BarWhen(0), BarsSince(0), MA(0);

 

If C crosses over MA then BarWhen = BarNumber;

 

BarsSince = BarNumber - BarWhen;

Check LRO and MRO functions in EL.

I tried to test the most simple work visually and wrote the following to test the code if it works for a close cross over the adaptive line .

But the result was that even the close cross below the line after two days , it still get paint bar ....really scratching my head ...

What is the mistake ?

 

// Adap10

 

inputs:

Price( Close ),

EffRatioLength( 10 ),

FastAvgLength( 2 ),

SlowAvgLength( 30 ) ;

 

variables:

Adap10(0) ;

 

Adap10 = AdaptiveMovAvg( Price, 10, FastAvgLength, SlowAvgLength ) ;

 

 

// test barsince

 

Vars: BarWhen(0), BarsSince(0), MA(0);

 

If C crosses over Adap10 then BarWhen = BarNumber;

 

BarsSince = BarNumber - BarWhen;

 

If BarsSince = 2 then

PlotPaintBar(High,Low,open,close,"",cyan);

forgive my clumsy in EL ,

just add a phase C > adap10 then solved the problem .

 

I have a lot to learn about EL ....

:crap:
