 With the correction "==" to "=" your code works as it should.
 remove it from the chart window and "apply indicator" again.

      have a look at code below Anthony.
I guess it could be programmed using arrays only, not sure,   regards, Ed       function
cccc(Buy,Sell) {
 
 CumCst = Null;
 
 for (i = 1; i < BarCount; i++)
 {
 
 if(Buy[i])
 {
 
 CumCst[i]=0.10;
 
 for (j = i + 1; j < BarCount; j++)
 {
 
 if (Sell[ j ] )
 {
 i = j - 1;
 break;
 
 }
 else if(C[j] > C[j-1])
 {
 
 CumCst[j] = Min(CumCst[j-1] + 0.003,0.13);
 
 }
 else if(C[j] <= C[j-1])
 {
 
 CumCst[j] = CumCst[j-1];
 
 }
 else if (j == BarCount - 1)
 {
 
 i = BarCount;
 break;
 
 }
 
 }
 
 }
 else if(Sell[i])
 {
 
 CumCst[i]=0.10;
 
 for (j = i + 1; j < BarCount; j++)
 {
 
 if (Sell[ j ] )
 {
 i = j - 1;
 break;
 
 }

        Keith,   Have you tried the formula ? I made the
adjustments as you stated still does not work...although I had them the way you suggested earlier...I
have been trying but something is not working properly.   Description: When there is a new buy or sell signal the
cumCst will reset to 0.10 and increment by 0.003 until it gets to a maximum of 0.13, this is not
happening with the formula below....I can not see the error, can anyone ?   Here is the complete formula   
      
      Buy=Cross(C,EMA(C,19)); Sell=Cross(EMA(C,19),C) ;  CumCst=0.00; poslong=0; posshort=0; for (i=1; i
< BarCount; i++) { if(Buy[i]) { poslong=1; posshort=0; CumCst[i]=0.10; } if(Sell[i]) { poslong=0; posshort=1; CumCst[i]=0.10; }   if(posshort) { if(C[i] < C[i-1]) CumCst[i] =
CumCst[i-1] + 0.003; else CumCst[i] =
CumCst[i-1]; } if(poslong) { if(C[i] > C[i-1]) CumCst[i] =
CumCst[i-1] + 0.003; else CumCst[i] =
CumCst[i-1]; } if(CumCst[i] > 0.13) CumCst[i] = 0.13; } per=19; Smth=2/(per+1)+CumCst; MovAvg=AMA(C,Smth); Plot(movavg,"",colorBlue,1); Plot(C,"",1,64);   PlotShapes(Buy*shapeUpArrow,colorGreen,0,L,-20); PlotShapes(Sell* shapeDownArrow,colorRed,0,H,-20); Title="cumulative value = "+WriteVal(Cumcst,1.3);

        Anthony --
 I have added comments to your code below:
 // Anthony.afl
 
 Buy=Cross(C,EMA(C,19));
 Sell=Cross(EMA(C,19),C) ;
 CumCst=0.00;
 poslong=0;
 posshort=0;
 for (i=1; i < BarCount; i++)
 {
 if(Buy[i])
 {
 poslong==1;    // == doesn't set poslong to 1, it stays 0
 posshort==0;   //  use = to set value
 CumCst[i]=0.10;
 }
 
 if(Sell[i])
 {
 poslong==0;
 posshort==1;    // == doesn't set posshort to 1, it stays 0
 CumCst[i]=0.10;  //  use = to set value
 }
 
 if(posshort) // posshort is 0 and code below is never executed
 {
 if(C[i] < C[i-1])
 CumCst[i] = CumCst[i-1] + 0.003;
 else
 CumCst[i] = CumCst[i-1];
 }
 
 if(poslong) // poslong is 0 and code below is never executed
 {
 if(C[i] > C[i-1])
 CumCst[i] = CumCst[i-1] + 0.003;
 else
 CumCst[i] = CumCst[i-1];
 }
 
   
          
          
           
          Keith,   Thanks...but that does not seem to be the
problem..when there is a signal buy or sell...cumCST starts at 0.10 and
increments by 0.003 as per the formula...that is not happening....it must
be something else   Anthony
