Loop in an Exploration

[baru]

Hello gurus ,

I am trying to do a simple exploration ,when a bar rises a certain points ( different for different symbols). I get a alert or a say .

Here is my code .

text = "not increased";
color = colorRed;
dif1 = abs( ( Prevbarclose ) - ( C ) );
diff = abs( dif1 );
bir = Status( "barinrange" );
for( i = 1; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
  
    if( Name() == "BANKNIFTY" AND( diff[i] >= 10 ) )
    {

        text = "Bank Nifty Increased";
        Say( "Bank Nifty Increased more than" + 10, True );
        color = colorGreen;

    }

}

AddColumn( C, "  Current Close", 1.2 );

I dont know what went wrong , Its taking forever when i am running the exploration for 1 recent day .
Its running perfectly for 1 recent bar .

Thanks for helping,
Baru

PrevBarClose is unknown variable. That's why you get error.

But loop is not required.

Use AddMultiTextColumn to get bar-by-bar text output.

Prevbarclose = Ref(C,-1);
diff = abs(Prevbarclose - C );
is_range = diff >= 10;

// If LAST value of analysis range is true
// then do something
if ( SelectedValue(is_range) )
	Say( Name() + " increased more than " + 10, True );

Filter = 1;

text = Name()+" has NOT increased\n"+Name()+" has increased";
bgcolor = IIf(is_range, colorGreen, colorRed);
AddMultiTextColumn(is_range, text, "Status", 1, colorDefault, bgcolor, 200);
AddColumn(C, "Current Close", 1.2 );
AddColumn(Diff, "Difference", 1.2 );

Thank you ... for your inputs .
I did initialize Prevbarclose.
I am pasting my whole code

Filter = 1 ;
//intraday
Points_bk = Param( "BankNifty Points " , 100, 10, 1000, 10 );
Points_Nty = Param( "Nifty Points " , 50, 10, 1000, 10 );
points_Rel = Param( "Reliance  Points " , 10, 10, 500, 10 );
points_midcap = Param( "Mid Cap Points " , 120, 10, 500, 10 );



Prevbarclose = Ref( Close, -1 );
text = "not increased";
color = colorRed;
dif1 = abs( ( Prevbarclose ) - ( C ) );
diff = abs( dif1 );
bir = Status( "barinrange" );

for( i = 1; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
    if( Name() == "BANKNIFTY" AND( diff[i] >= Points_bk ) )
    {
        text = "Bank Nifty Increased";
        Say( "Bank Nifty Increased more than" + Points_bk, True );
        color = colorGreen;
    }


    if( Name() == "NIFTY" AND( diff[i] >= Points_Nty ) )
    {
        text = " Nifty Increased";
        Say( " Nifty Increased more than" + Points_Nty, True );
        color = colorGreen;
    }


    if( Name() == "NIFTYMIDCAP50" AND( diff[i] ) >= points_midcap )
    {
        text = "NIFTYMIDCAP50 Increased";
        Say( "NIFTYMIDCAP50 Increased more than" + points_midcap, True );
        color = colorGreen;
    }




}

AddColumn( C, "  Current Close", 1.2 );
AddColumn( Prevbarclose, " Previous bar close Close", 1.2 );
AddColumn( diff, "Diff " , 1.3 );
AddTextColumn( text, "Comments......  ", 1.2, colorBlack, color );

Thank you
