IIF issue

[DanielBaeumler]

Hope somebody can help me with this simple condition (shame on me I don’t know myself):

===========================================

ROCper1 = Param(“ROC period1”,200,20,200,5);
ROCper2 = Param(“ROC period2”,50,20,200,5);

IndexCode = ParamStr(“Index Symbol”,”$SPX”);
Index = Foreign(Indexcode,”C”);
IndMA = Param(“Index Filter MA”,200,20,200,1);
IndexFilterUp = Index > MA(Index,IndMA);

ROCper = IIf(IndexFilterUp,ROCper1,ROCper2);

ROClimit = Param(“ROC limit”,10,0,20,1);

Cond1 = C > LongMA;
Cond2 = ROC(C,ROCper) < ROClimit;
Cond3 = Rank > limit;

===========================================

I get an error on Cond2. It says that ROCper should be a number but is an array. However, when I pull in ROCper in the interpretation window, I do get the expected numbers (200,50).
Any thoughts?

Cheers. Daniel

for (i = 1; i < BarCount; i++)
{
if (IndexFilterUp)
{
ROCper = ROCper1;
}
else
{
Rocper = rocper2;
}
}

ROClimit = Param(“ROC limit”,10,0,20,1);

Cond2 = ROC(C,ROCper) < ROClimit; This works but I think there is an easier way can’t remember.

there is small workaround that i use for such cases here it is

Code:

IndexCode = ParamStr(“Index Symbol”,”$SPX”);
Index = Foreign(Indexcode,”C”);
IndMA = Param(“Index Filter MA”,200,20,200,1);
IndexFilterUp = Index > MA(Index,IndMA);

ROCper = IIf(IndexFilterUp,Param(“ROC period1”,200,20,200,5),Param(“ROC period2”,50,20,200,5));

ROClimit = Param(“ROC limit”,10,0,20,1);

end of the day the only variable you need to use is ROCper

Thank’s Said. This works.
