Dear All,
I'm looking for a way of getting the number of times a certain price was crossed over from last bar, I know how to get this done using loops but as I need to scan many prices I prefer to use CountIF instead of loops inside loops..
Can anyone pls point me on how to do this?
Thanks much in advance!
Best,
Ram

Hello Ram,
It works the same way as in the PowerLanguage. You can find the description and examples in the Functions & Reserved Words Reference guide.

Re: how to use CountIF? [SOLVED]
for anyone interested in a working example:
Code: Select all
Imports System
Imports System.Drawing
Imports PowerLanguage
Imports PowerLanguage.Indicator
Imports PowerLanguage.Function
Imports System.Linq
Namespace PowerLanguage.Indicator
Public Class countIF
Inherits IndicatorObject
Public Sub New(ByVal _ctx As Object)
MyBase.New(_ctx)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub CalcBar()
If Bars.LastBarOnChart Then
MyPrice = 2000
' count how many times the HIGH was above MyPrice
MyCount = Me.criteria.CountIF(ExecInfo.MaxBarsBack)
'print out the results
Output.WriteLine(MyCount)
StopCalc()
End If
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub Create()
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub StartCalc()
ExecInfo.MaxBarsBack = Bars.FullSymbolData.Count
'criteria for HIGH level count example
Me.m_criteria = New Lambda(Of Boolean)(Function(_bb) PublicFunctions.DoubleGreater(MyBase.Bars.High.Item(_bb), MyPrice))
End Sub
Private ReadOnly Property criteria As ISeries(Of Boolean)
Get
Return Me.m_criteria
End Get
End Property
Private m_criteria As ISeries(Of Boolean)
Private MyPrice as Double
Private MyCount as Double
End Class
End Namespace
