Syntax

Public function Analyze (ByRef Source As Field) As Short

Overview

Every security has a predominated cycle length. Once obtained, the predominated cycle length can be used in the calculation of moving averages and other technical indicators.

Note

The Cycle class is different from other TA classes. The only member Function: is “Analyze”, which returns an integer value instead of a Recordset object.

Class: Cycle

Return Type

Returns total of the effective field as a value of type Short
