Hi,

Can somebody explain what this NinjaTrader code is doing in English please? I would like to convert it to Easylanguage. Thanks.

 

Code

if (base.CurrentBar >= 20) { double num = 0.0; for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { num += base.Momentum(1)[i]; } double num3 = 0.0; for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) { num3 += Math.Abs(base.Momentum(1)[j]);

This is calling the base Momentum indicator so you need to look at that also.

Without lookin at that indicator, my assumption is basically this code appears to be getting two sums.

1. Over the last 5 bars, sum of the difference in closes from bar to bar. This could be a positive or negative number depending on whether the net change is up or down.

2. Over the last 5 bars, sum of the absolute value of those same differences. This can only be a positive number.

So it appears to be comparing 5 bar directional movement (1) with 5 bar amount of price fluctuation in either direction(2)
