I see little need to compile. Here is your code
(with 'l' changed to'j' to avoid confusion with '1'),
with times for the two outer loops:
SeedRandom[1234567890]
num = 10^3
tab = Table[0, {num}];
corr = Table[0, {num/10}];
AbsoluteTiming@For[j = 1, j <= 1000, j++,
a = 0;
For[i = 1, i <= num, i++,
tab[[i]] = tab[[i]] + a/10;
If[RandomReal[{-1,1}] < 0, a = a + 1, a = a - 1]]]
AbsoluteTiming@For[k = 1, k <= num/10, k++,
For[n = 1, n <= num/10*9, n++,
corr[[k]] = corr[[k]] + tab[[n]]*tab[[n + k - 1]]/num*10/9]]
corr1 = corr;
1000
{22.882292, Null}
{2.836433, Null}
Here are the corresponding times for reorgnized code
that gives the same 'corr':
SeedRandom[1234567890]
AbsoluteTiming@Length[ tab = FoldList[Plus,0,
Total@Sign@Table[Most@RandomReal[{-1,1},num],{1000}]] ]
AbsoluteTiming@Length[ corr = Table[Take[tab,{k,num*9/10-1+k}],
{k,num/10}].Drop[tab,-num/10]/(num*10*9) ]
corr == corr1
{0.262409,1000}
{0.007661,100}
True
Most@RandomReal[{-1,1},num] should be RandomReal[{-1,1},num-1],
but I generated 'num' randoms and then dropped the last one
to keep them the same as in your code.
