Info

The first subroutine call holds the RSI value in rsiVal1 and the upSumAvg1and dnSumAvg1 values are held over until the next subroutine call. The secondsubroutine call stores its RSI value in rsiVal2 and the up sum and down sum averagesin upSumAvg2 and dnSumAvg2, respectively. So keep in mind that if you wantto call a subroutine more than once, then you will need to create separate parameternames so that the subroutine can keep track of the different lookback lengths andindicator values.Function Highest(dataList, length, index, offset)Function Highest(dataList, length, index, offset)Dim i As IntegerDim tempHH As IntegertempHH = 0For i = (index - offfset) - (length - 1) To (index - offset)Next iHighest = tempHHEnd FunctionIf (dataList(i) > tempHH) Then tempHH = myHigh(i)Sub RSISub(dataList, length, rsiVal, upSumAvg, dnSumAvg, index, offset)Sub RSISub(dataList, length, rsiVal, upSumAvg, dnSumAvg, index, offset)Dim i As IntegerDim diff1, diff2, upSum, dnSum As DoubleupSum = 0dnSum = 0If upSumAvg = 0 And dnSumAvg = 0 Then ’seed the originalRSI ValueFor i = (index - offset) - (length - 1) To(index - offset)If dataList(i) > dataList(i - 1) Thendiff1 = dataList(i) - dataList(i - 1)upSum = upSum + diff1End IfIf dataList(i) < dataList(i - 1) Thendiff2 = dataList(i - 1) - dataList(i)dnSum = dnSum + diff2End IfNext i303EXCEL SYSTEM BACKTESTERwww.rasabourse.com
