                hi,   could someone explain what the below code does: Alert(vtr >= Ref(vtr,-1),2);   this is part of this line: SVAPO:=Tema(Sum(If(haC>(Ref(haC,-1)*(1+cutoff/1000)) AND Alert(vtr>=Ref(vtr,-1),2), vc, If(haC<(Ref(haC,-1)*(1-cutoff/1000)) AND Alert(vtr>Ref(vtr,-1),2),-vc,0)),period)/(vave+1),period);
 just trying to understand how the averaging works. any help will be greatly appreciated. many thanks |

                Here's what the Help file says about the Alert() function: SYNTAX  alert( EXPRESSION, 
PERIODS ) FUNCTION  Extends a "true" 
result of EXPRESSION for the specified number of periods. This true result is 
held true over the number of periods specified even if a "false" result is 
generated. EXAMPLE  alert( cross(rsi(14),70),5 ) 
 So your expression, "vtr >= Ref(vtr,-1)" is being extended in a true state for two periods. So the day it goes false, it will stay true another two bars past that point. |
