Hi Mike,

Thanks for the tips,

Below are my changes (weekly) to your (yearly) code. Assuming it is correct
than why on a chart with 50 days I can get a plot of average solid area on
all days except the very first 2 days? Seems to me if one, two weeks are
selected then the first one to two weeks should not have any plots?

Or does something need to be change in the section just after Avgroc = 0?


Regards,

JG

   initialValue = IIf(newweek, ValueWhen(newweek, Close, y),
ValueWhen(newweek, Close, y + 1)); 
   barValue = Ref(Close, -5 * y);
   runningroc = (barValue / initialValue) - 1; 
   VarSet("Week" + y, runningroc); 
   Avgroc += runningroc; 
} 
Avgroc /= weeks;

// Plot previous years with incrementing colors 
for (y = 1; y <= weeks; y++) { 
 Plot(VarGet("Week" + y), "" + y + "Weeks Ago", colorDarkRed + y ); 
} 
// Plot average as solid area
Plot(Avgroc, "Avg.", colorDarkRed + y, styleArea | styleNoLabel);

Jerry,

Sorry, sent you the link to the poor formatted version. The better version
is here: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/144970

And, yes, if you want every Tuesday to be your criteria for a new period,
then what you have done should work. But, you must also change the constant
used in the calculations. Instead of 252 (i.e. trading days in a year), you
would need to use 5 (i.e. trading days in a week).

Note also that when dealing with a year, minor errors in the alignment don't
make much difference. But, when using just a week, as you are doing, the
alignment will likely be more important and you will probably have to work
out some more precise code than simply using multiples of 5 bars/week. For
example, when the markets were closed due to holidays, using a hard coded
multiple of 5 days will misalign the data.

Mike
