Hi, I would like to create a function (MyPTN) that is formed by different descriptions of patterns/market behaviors. These patterns should be declared as arrays (correct me if I'm wrong) and then define the function MyPTN that retrieves these patters/market behaviors.

Code I came up with:

 

Code

Array: PTN[10](0), // Indicating 11 arrays from 0 to 10 (?) numberPTN[10](0); PTN[1] = Close > Close[1]; PTN[2] = Close < Close[1]; {list can go on} MyPTN = PTN[numberPTN]; // Function

This is just an idea since I never worked with arrays; at the moment I am getting an error indicating the ">" sign (numerical expression expected here).
The function will be used in a strategy, it should allow me to analyze the different results of the listed PTNs.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

Note sure what system you are using and not a real programmer, but thinking issue may be it's not seeing the boolean expression as a value, so something like:

 

Code

PTN[1] = if Close > Close[1] then 1 else 0;

I really don't know though.

By reading the EasyLanguage PDF, I think "Function Array parameter declaration" (page 109) is the solution. But again, I never used them, and trying to figure it out, any advice is welcome.

Current possible solution but still get an error:

 

Code

// Boolean function MyPTN inputs: PatternNumber(numericsimple); arrays: Patterns[10](false); // List of patterns Patterns[1] = Close > Close[1]; Patterns[2] = Close < Close[1]; {rest of the list} MyPTN = Patterns[PatternNumber];

The error is in the function MyPTN = Patterns[PatternNumber] "Numerical expression expected here" ("Patterns" is highlighted).
