Hi,
I have a hard time to convert ELA indicators that are using loops to NT. The problem is that NT cannot use arrays similar ways ELA language is able to do. Here is an example of what I am trying to convert to NT (for loop is the problem):

inputs:
depth = 10;

Array:
iprice = close;
pBuffer[30](0);
price = iprice;
summ=0;

for x=0 to depth-1
begin
pbuffer[x] = price;
price = (pbuffer[x] + pbuffer[x][1])/2.0;
summ+= price;
end;

I first came up with NT code like this:

for(int i=0 ; i<depth; i++)
{
pBuffer[i][0]=price;
price= (pBuffer[i] + pBuffer[i+1])/2.0;
summ+= price;
}

But then I realized that the part pbuffer[x][1] is using array from previous bar, and not the value pBuffer[i+1] from the current bars array. I tried to change pBuffer to dataserie but it was not able to read arrays from previous bars. If someone have some ideas about how to handle this kind of code, please let me know.

in ninja you don't have to declare arrays for O,H,L,C you just simply call it Close[0] = currentprice, Close[1] = previous price etc... make sure you don't call out of bound i.e. you have only 5 bars and try to call Close[5]

Thanks cory for your advice,

but I am not sure if that help in this case. If I understand the code correct the problem is that the array pBuffer is not storing Close but instead it is storing this: price = (pbuffer[x] + pbuffer[x][1])/2.0; I have read a more about this thing and it seems that it is impossible to call an array from previous bar.

you don't need array pBuffer, the O,H,L,C of prices are auto maintained by Ninja and ready for you to use.
