mql Q : how to use cci array?

Hello, I want to know if the cci is in downtrend.
I looked at iCCIOnArray but I didnt understand the parameters total and period.
can someone please post a quick code?

Thanks in advance.

My question is why you are using onArray instead of the regular iCCI.

taken from mql4.com:
<table class="docvar" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td>double iCCIOnArray(</td> <td>double <nobr>array[]</nobr>, int total, int period, int shift)</td></tr> </tbody></table> Calculation of the Commodity Channel Index on data stored in a numeric array. Unlike iCCI(...), the iCCIOnArray function does not take data by symbol name, timeframe, the applied price. The price data must be previously prepared. The indicator is calculated from left to right. To access to the array elements as to a series array (i.e., from right to left), one has to use the ArraySetAsSeries function.

It seems like you would need this:
<table class="docvar" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td>double iCCI(</td> <td>string symbol, int timeframe, int period, int applied_price, int shift)</td></tr> </tbody></table> Calculates the Commodity channel index and returns its value.

hope that helps,

hey andersenws,
how can I know if its a downtrend only with icci() ?

Maybe something like
oldCCI=iCCI( Symbol(), 0, 14, Close, 1);
newCCI=iCCI( Symbol(), 0, 14, Close, 0);
if (newCCI<oldCCI) {
in a downtrend??
}

"downtrend" is fairly subjective, so you will have to make your own test for that.
