how to update a variable !!

[Italy]

Hello,
I created a method to calculate a range. The value of this range is used to calculate the Exit.
The problem is that the value of the Range does not remain stationary, but varies with each candle. How can I do to make it stay fixed?
Example:

# Region OrderRouting //Region to manage the position Long
private void ManagerOrder ()

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
{
if ( High [0]> Position.AvgPrice + RangeLong () ) the value of the Range is not that calculated when EnterLong, changes each candle
}




private double RangeLong () //method to calculate the Range

return (MAX (HIGH, 5) [0]-MIN (Low, 10) [5]);




protected override void OnBarUpdate ()
RangeLong ();
if (Low [0] <MAX (High, 5) [0] - RangeLong ())
EnterLong



If, instead, I try to do this:

RangeLong () = VariableM
the value of variableM becomes equal to the value of the Range, remains as the initial default (1).
How can I do?
Thanks.

Hello Roberto,

You are working with programming language so there is not just one answer here.

One approach is using a bool flag to force the calculation only once. You set the bool flag to the opposite of what you check for.

In your code, it will most likely be simpler to move away from the custom method and capture the value you want after certain conditions.

 
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long && callOnce)
{
double myRangeLong = (MAX (HIGH, 5) [0] - MIN (Low, 10) [5]);
callOnce = false;
}
 
if ( High [0]> Position.AvgPrice + myRangeLong)
//exit here
 
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat) //resets your bool flag when flat
callOnce = true;

Hello RyanM,
I am attaching the code where I made the changes, the value is always the default (1). and for the profit target for the management of Exit not updated.
If you can help me I would be grateful because they are blocked by two weeks on this point.
Thanks.
Ciao.

Roberto, we could unfortunately not code or debug this for you - if you look to get this custom coded for you a certified NinjaScript consultant would be a potential route to choose -
