Improve calculating time of own indicator

  Hi,

  i have a own indicator. Its based on the Donchian Channel.

  In programming a own indicator i cant choose the Donchian Channel indicator. Therefore i create my own DC indicator:

  PointHigh = HIGHEST[n] (HIGH) PointLow = LOWEST[n](LOW) Return PointHigh AS "HIGH", PointLow AS "LOW"

  1 2 3 4

  PointHigh = HIGHEST[n] (HIGH) PointLow = LOWEST[n](LOW)   Return PointHigh AS "HIGH", PointLow AS "LOW"

  Here is my own indicator, but the calculating time is very bad…i wrote a java program to calculate my indicator its much more faster. Therefore i think i make a mistake in prorealtime?

  myHIGH, myLOW = CALL "DC Own"[perioden] result = 0 resultIndikator = 0 FOR i = 0 TO perioden DO IF myHigh[i] > myHigh[i+1] THEN result = result + 1 ENDIF IF myLow[i] < myLow[i+1] THEN result = result + 1 ENDIF NEXT IF result > mindestWert THEN resultIndikator = 1 ELSE resultIndikator = -1 ENDIF return resultIndikator

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

  myHIGH, myLOW = CALL "DC Own"[perioden]   result = 0 resultIndikator = 0   FOR i = 0 TO perioden DO IF myHigh[i] > myHigh[i+1] THEN result = result + 1 ENDIF IF myLow[i] < myLow[i+1] THEN result = result + 1 ENDIF NEXT   IF result > mindestWert THEN resultIndikator = 1 ELSE resultIndikator = -1 ENDIF   return resultIndikator

  Has anyone a idea to improve the calculating time?

  Thanks!

  Hi,

  We are all expecting fairly soon a new engine allowing “call” to be much faster than its current snail pace. In the meantime whenever possible avoiding “call”, by copying and pasting the called code in the calling code, will go a long way to improve speed (worth having a look at pages 23-24-25, especially p25, of following manual with some examples)  https://www.prorealtime.com/en/pdf/probacktest_c1491462069c.pdf

  You can also increase speed of your program replacing this kind of FOR/NEXT loop by using SUMMATION of boolean variables results.
