Composite momentum

[koganam]

Hello koganam

I would like to take the factorial of lets say the WMA(Close,1)[0]. I know there is a limit to how big a number I can take the factorial of. But for prices around 1-10 units that should work. How could I go round it?
Thank u

You would have to write a factorial function/method, and pass (int)WMA(Close, 1)[0] to it.

You do realize I hope that any Average(1) is the same as the number, so WMA(Close, 1)[0] is rather a pointless and unnecessary use of computing resources?

erm....could u give me a reference to some examples? I could pretend to say: Yes koganam, I understood

Examples of what?

[michael fantoni]

for example, I found in that link u gave me the following:
public static int Calc(int i) { return((i <= 1) ? 1 : (i * Calc(i-1))); }

I would not have any idea as to how implement it in NT. So, maybe,
if u r aware of examples where people tried to compute the factorial
of something in indicators. u see?

To use that very code as a base,

1. Write a function to use within the class, so

#region Functions
private int Factorial(int i) {return((i <= 1) ? 1 : (i * Factorial(i-1)));} 

// other functions go here

#endregion

I usually create a separate region for all my functions, but that is just my style, so that I can keep things compartmentalized, for finding them easily when I come to look at the code a few months from now, and wonder what the heck I was smoking when I wrote the code.

2. Then where you want to calculate a factorial, you call it in the code

int WMAValue = (int)WMA(Close, 1)[0];
int WMAFactorial = this.Factorial(WMAValue);

Of course, you can make those class variables, or you can concatenate the lines. Again just my style.

I hope it was gd stuff
Thank u very much for ur time koganam!!
The factorial function is everywhere in probability and statistics, strange there isnt a define function in C#!
Thank u again and I guess I'll get back to u!
Enjoy

Yes, I too was very surprised that the shipping Math library did not have an inbuilt factorial function.
