The Cold Blood Index - 10/29/15 09:32
I'm having a go at implementing jcl's Cold Blood Index from his Financial Hacker website. Its all pretty clear, other than storing the balance curve as a double array in a file to be called in the Cold Blood Index Script. Here is what I've tried:
When I run this script, the file to store the balance curve is created, but nothing is written to it. I'm also unable to open it until I close the instance of Zorro that I used to create it.
The print function indicates that the correct values are being evaluated, so I think I have isolated my problem to the file_append function.
What am I doing wrong? What's the best way to write this data to a file to be called in a different script?
Code:
//globals
var Daily;
int Day = 0;
...
//in the run function
// store daily results in an equity curve
string FileName = "Log\\SpreadCombosDaily1.txt";
static int LastDay = 0;
if(is(LOOKBACK))
LastDay = Day = 0;
else if(LastDay != day()) {
Daily = Equity;
LastDay = day();
file_append(FileName, &Daily);
}
printf("\nDaily:%10.5f\n", Daily);
...
