Hi all,
I'm trying to do what seemed like a relatively simple comparison of up days vs down days from a price rolling window. The code is as follows:
if not self.priceWindow.IsReady: return
upCount = 0
downCount = 0
closeList = list(self.priceWindow)
closeList = closeList.reverse()
for index, elem in enumerate(closeList):
if (index+1 < len(closeList) and index-1>=0):
if self.closeList[index-1] < self.closeList[elem]:
upCount += 1
if self.priceWindow[index-1] > self.priceWindow[elem]:
downCount += 1
if upCount > downCount:
return True
The code throws a TypeError : 'NoneType' object is not iterable. Does anyone have an example of how to go about iterating through a rolling window and comparing the current indicator to the previous?
Thanks!

Hi Nicholas,
list.reverse() always returns a NoneType object as it reverses the elements of a list in place.
Just remove the assignment, i.e. replace the line
with
and it should work.
