Looping functions in paintbars/scans

[Mike Medved]

If you missed it, I'd like to point to our convenient looping functions in Advanced code:

From our support emails, it seems that paintbar users may not be aware of them.

For example, if you have a variable SMA20 which is an SMA and you want to do something if it has been rising for the last 4 candles, all you have to do is call:

All(4, SMA20 > SMA20[1])   // will return true for that condition. Don't have to use a for loop etc.

or you want to check if the Close was above SMA20 in at least 5 out of 6 last candles...

Count(6, Close>SMA20) >= 5

nice and simple.
