Contents

The following functions can be used with series variables.

Function Name:	Description:
AsDate	This function that converts an integer date YYYYMMDD to string "YYYY-MM-DD" for PRINTing or other string output.
AsSeries	Function Passes the address of the series.
Average	Finds the average value of the series.
CopySeries	This Series functions will Copy the data in a from one series to another, and also transpose a row or column from a dual array to single.
Correlation	Finds the correlation of two series.
CorrelationLog	Finds the correlation of two series, using the log of the change in price.
CorrelationLogSynch	Used for IPV Auto Indexed Series or Price Series and synchs the dates of the two series before computing the correlationlog
CorrelationSynch	Used for IPV Auto Indexed Series or Price Series and synchs the dates of the two series before computing the correlation
CrossOver	Returns true if two series have crossed over.
Data Series Indexing	Explaination of how Series are indexed.
DownloadWebFile()	FTPDownload and DownloadWebFile now take optional local folder parameter
FTPDownloadFile()
FTPUploadFile()
GetReference	Deprecated. Use AsSeries()to pass a series element to a Custom Function
GetSeriesSize	Returns the current size of the series.
Highest	Find the highest value of the series.
HighestBar	Returns the number of bars back from the starting offset of the highest bar.
Lowest	Finds the lowest value of the series.
LowestBar	Returns the number of bars back from the starting offset of the lowest bar.
Median	Returns the median.
RegressionEnd	Finds the end point (Y axis) after a call to RegressionSlope
RegressionSlope	Finds the slope of the linear regression.
RegressionValue	Finds the value of a linear regression of the series at any point using an offset
RSI	Computes the RSI of a series.
SetSeriesAutoIndex	SetSeries Enable for IPV and BPV and numeric and string. (Test)
SetAuxiliaryWindowText
SetSeriesColorStyle	Function will color an IPV Auto-Index series, or a Indicator section indicator created to hold decimal-numbers or text String.
SetSeriesSize	Sets the size of the series. Manual-Indexed series have a minimum size of 1, and a maximum size of 1,000,000 elements.
SetSeriesValues	Sets a value into every element of the series.
SortSeries	Sorts the series
SortSeriesDual	Sorts series1 based on the values of series2
StandardDeviation	Finds the standard deviation of the series.
StandardDeviationLog	Returns the standard deviation of the log of the change in prices.
Sum	Finds the sum of the series.
SwingHigh	Returns the swing high value.
SwingHighBar	Returns the number of bars back from the starting offset of the swing high bar.
SwingLow	Returns the swing low value.
SwingLowBar	Returns the number of bars back from the staring offset of the swing low bar.

The series on which these function apply:
instrument.open instrument.high instrument.low instrument.close instrument.volume instrument.openInterest instrument.unAdjustedClose instrument.extraData1 through instrument.extraData8 instrument.weekOpen (indexed by week) instrument.weekHigh (indexed by week) instrument.weekLow (indexed by week) instrument.weekClose (indexed by week) BPV (Block Permanent Series) Variable IPV (Instrument Permanent Series) Variable Indicators

The series on which these function apply:

instrument.open
instrument.high
instrument.low
instrument.close
instrument.volume
instrument.openInterest
instrument.unAdjustedClose
instrument.extraData1 through instrument.extraData8
instrument.weekOpen (indexed by week)
instrument.weekHigh (indexed by week)
instrument.weekLow (indexed by week)
instrument.weekClose (indexed by week)
BPV (Block Permanent Series) Variable
IPV (Instrument Permanent Series) Variable
Indicators

Example:
' myCustomArray is defined as an Instrument Permanent ' non Auto Indexed Series Variable ' Finds the average of elements number 8, 9, and 10: myAverage = Average( myCustomArray, 3, 10 )

NOTES:
If you use this function on an "Auto Indexed" Instrument Permanent or Block Permanent Series variable, then the offset parameter sets the start index as a lookback from the current instrument bar or test day. However, if you use this function on a non "Auto Indexed" series variable, then the offset parameter is the start index. The function uses the bars prior to and including the start index for the calculation.
