At this step , I have :

double var
double var1

var = Formula;

now I want to have
var1 = previous value of Formula

If Formula was an Array such as High I would just write
var1 = High[1]

But writing
var1 = Formula[1]

is not recognized.

who could help ? Thanks

In general, the question is : how to transform the value of a formula into an Array

Hi maestrade,

This would not work. If you are coding a formula it will only return a single value so you would just reference as normal variable not as an array ie[]. If you want to return an array as your formula you would need to create a function or loop to build the array, then you could reference it as an array. Here is an example of a funciton 

bool  GetArray( double& anArray[])
{
     for (i = bars; i >= 0; i--)
     {
         anArray[i] = some formula;
     }
}

// now you could call
double myArray[100];
GetArray(myArray);
double val = myArray[1];



This code would still need work as you would need to make sure that the array is big enough or add resizing code but it should give you the basic idea.

Hello Maestrade,

Try this

double var;
double var1;

var1 = var;
var = Formula;


Thanks

Pedro,



Thanks for your time

Unfortunately your suggestion does not work at all. First, the way you define the function is not proper.



If you think it works, could you write the code for MACD  using the sample given by Metaquotes 

How to get the previous value of the MACD or better the value of the MACD n bars before ?
