Hi,
I want to use a variable in ref()for my custom indicator, which i couldn't, hence i downloaded the Forum DLL. Also here it seems that i cannot use the negative values.
My requirement is, i want to highlight the previous trough based on a condition on the latest trough. I know i can use valuewhen()to get the previous trough's value, but i want to highlight the previous trough in its position. Trying to break this since a week's time.
Please helpme guys.
Thanks for your patient listening and would appreciate ur help in this regard
Pakki.

ExtFml("Forum20.Ref", C, 1) is the same as Ref(C,-1) There is no need to put a minus sign.

Thanks haddison,
You are right, i did try using ur tip.
Here is my code:
tb:=If(base<>0,BarsSince(su<>0),0); ExtFml( "Forum.Ref", base<>0, tb);
here su is the series of troughs, where ever there is a trough, the value is 1, otherwise zero and base is the condition, when the latest peak is greater than earlier peak, the value is 1, otherwise zero. I am trying to move the base value, whenever it is true to the earliest trough position.
i thing the formula is self-referencing, i am only getting zeroes as output.
Please help me
Thanks Pakki.

Hi pakki
The Forum DLL Ref function uses the opposite polarity from the standard Ref() function. Negative values in the DLL-based function reference future data rather than past data.
With regard to why your formula doesn't work properly, it's difficult to troubleshoot it when critical elements of the formula is missing. I'm referring to the "base" and "su" variables and I just don't see their definitions. Please provide all the relevant facts when asking for help. Thanks.

Thanks Roy,
Here is the complete code for ur reference,
ssu:=Stoch( 12, 9); tr:=Trough(1,ssu,0.05); su:=If(tr=ssu,1,0); ---- gives me series of troughs
sre:=Stoch( 12, 9); pk:=Peak(1,sre,0.05); re:=If(pk=sre,1,0);---- gives me series of peaks su;re;
---compare two latest peaks for their "close", find such latest trough on satisfying condition c0:=ValueWhen(1,re<>0,CLOSE); c1:=ValueWhen(2,re<>0,CLOSE); base:=c0>=c1 AND re<>0;
---find the no of bars since trough existed from the latest peak where the condition is true. tb:=If(base<>0,BarsSince(su<>0),0); ExtFml( "Forum.Ref", base<>0, tb);
My requirement is to "highlight the previous trough in its position" once the condition is satisfied on the latest peak. I am trying to move the bars to previous trough by knowing the no of barssince the earlier trough existed.
Regards
Pakki
