Barstate.islast value Converted to a normal Constant Int value that is true on all bars.

[fast sedge]

the islast is true on the last bar, not sure what u want thou... can u explain more?

u can detect the x-lastth-candle, is that what u want?

okey, i get it now. yes, ta.XY() requier a constant rather then a series

but thsi is also true on the last bar

not sure why u mentioning barstate.islast

it doesnt do that on barstate.islast in the first place... i think u mix up things here

barstate.islast is not "special" in the sense of reading variables

but what u want is to enter XY varaibles into indicator calculations like SMA and EMA, right? so they can be variable

not constant

yes

i know what u mean, but they are still the same on the last bar 😛

so that what was confusing me

ur mixxing up barstate.islast... this variable is only here to detect when u are on the last bar... has nothing to do with constants or anything

yes, tahts because pine runs the WHOLE script on every bar... but if u do "barstate.islast" this part is only run on the last bar

so only once

thats why its much faster

yes i do, BUT it still needs a constant

SMA and EMA still need a constant

and u want it to be dynamic, right?

not if the code is in barstate.islast

u can never put an array value into ta.sma(), never. not on barstate.islast and not anywhere else becasue it needs a "simple int"

so what u want has nothing to do with barstate.islast in my eyes

but what u want is still a valid question

or yes i dont understand, thats true

but then what u want may still be possible already? so ew can figure it out

they watch over this

if u want we can talk more about this and u can tell me what u want and maybe its already possible?

so u want

ta.ema(close, 1)
ta.ema(close, 2)
ta.ema(close, 3)
...

right?

in a loop?

for sure

#🌲┃pine-script

i think u can post pictures there

or here?

sure

im looking at the indicator right now

yes, u want to loop through all and filter out the best

is basicly what kioseff does

BUT i have to say, i dont think thats possible, im thinking of how he did this

but the reason its not possible is not the table thing

its becasue it needs to be a simple int

thats the ONLY reason

and yes, you are correct, they need to be manually inputed

no im pretty sure im not wrong here

i can write u a testscript

that shows it very clear

hmm

not sure what to do with this now lol, im pretty sure im right, it needs to be a simple int in ANY TA. indicator

it seems u are correct, i can loop through sma's now (i didnt know), so whats the problem now?

so okey, now you want to take a value from an outside script to put it into yours, right?

thats the feature?
