Hi There,

I found it is quite difficult to realize a cycle operation as in normal programming:
for (i=0; i<8; i++)
{
operation 1;
operation 2;
....;
}

I am trying to make a strategy using such cycle operation. I judge the trend by sequence of the EMA of different period.
If the 3, 5, 8,10, 12, 15, 30, 35, 40, 50 and 60 days EMA is in raising seuqence or descending squence in all the past 6 candles, a trend is confirmed. I tried to use "IF" block to realize the cycle operation, but system indicates that i have created an endless loop. Can you please kindly help to take a look into my file.

thanks!

Hi,

As far as I understood your requirement do not need an incrementation to be achieved: You can use EMA blocks as much as needed with each set to a given period (3,5,8,10,...) and then compare their outputs: for this you need 2 EMA blocks per period to be able to compare 2 outputs in a given period and then conclude whether the trend is going up or down)

In case I misunderstood something, here is the way to set up a basic counter (from 1-->8)
