MA into array

Hi all, i need help to develop e simple indicator in power language.

I would like to build a For Cycle that return the lowest value between many moving average, i build something like it:

Code

                            
var: min(0);
array: val[20](0);

For value88 = 1 To 20  begin

value4 = value4+5;
val[value88] = Average(c,value4 );
if (val[value88]<min) then
min = val[value88];

End;
plot1(min);

It should plot just the lowest value between Average(c,5) , average(c,10), average(c,15) etc... but it doesnt work and cycle continue without an end.

Some help about ? thank you very much anyway !

Regards

no erocla,

you could save a lot of time in your programming (especially when you have to debug code) if you'd use proper
variable names and comments. This makes code much easier to read and is a huge help in case you share code with others (post it on forums for example) or come back to a code after a couple of years.
The code below would do what you requested, but doesn't use an array:

Code

Variables:
	ii			(0),
	CurrentMA		(0),
	MALength		(0),
	LowestMAValue		(0);
	
//reset the values before the loop	
LowestMAValue = 999999;
MALength = 0;

//loop through 20 MAs and find the lowest one	
for ii = 1 to 20
begin
	MALength = MALength + 5;
	
	CurrentMA = Average(Close, MALength);
	
	if CurrentMA < LowestMAValue then
		LowestMAValue = CurrentMA;
end;

Plot1(LowestMAValue, "LowestMAValue");
