[amibroker] Re: Need coding help with volume indicator

The arguments for IIf are (condition, truearray, falsearray).  In your
first and second lines, you use a value for the "falsearray", not an
array.

Also, you seem to be trying to repeat the last value for volume when
it isn't up or down - that is, repeat the last down volume on an up
day.  That will cause a falsely weighted average.  For example, in a
strong up trend, the down-volume average could consist of repeated
entries of the last down day's volume.  I don't have a good
work-around, unless I knew a little more about what you are trying to
accomplish.
