hi, before i do my indicator calculations i need to compute some 'global' variables like average volume, avg price move etc... so i need to loop once through the bars. Next with automated looping my indicator is computed. The global variables don't need to be re-computed when new bars are added, only when f.e. more historical data is loaded. How can i achieve this one-time variables calculation ? ty ! |

Have a look at this section here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_ACSILProgrammingConcepts.html#GlobalVariables It explains global variables and also makes reference to Persistent Variables.

ty, indd persistent is probably what i need. however, it is not clear to me how i would compute f.e. an average volume of all bars and define it as a variable. I cannot loop within sc.setdefaults because the data array is empty. the average volume is used in the loop but yet not defined... So i would need to go through all data first and when the persistent variable is defined the automated loop can start the calculations for the indicator... Not sure how to achieve this in a clean way. |

if(sc.Index == 0) { } |
