PriorDay for Gaps

[canuck]

I've been reading and researching the site about this but I'm having a hard time since I'm not a real programmer.

From what I understand, I need to first run this code to see what day it is:

{
/* If the day is Monday, and we want the value from Friday, we must subtract 3 days from the current date.
If the day is Tuesday-Friday, just subtract one day. */
if (Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday)
timeOfInterest = new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day - 3, 9, 30, 0);
else
timeOfInterest = new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day - 1, 9, 30, 0);
}

Now I just want it run go short if the open is greater than previous close:


if (ToTime(Time[0]) == ToTime(9, 30, 0)
&& (ShowClose && ToDay(DateTime.Today) == ToDay(Time[0].Date)) PriorClose.Set(priordayClose);
&& Open[0] > PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[1])
{
EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "");
}

This doesn't seem to work as there are a lot of errors. Am I going down the right path? I just want to trade off a gap, I can figure out all of the other details but I can't get the model to pull up the right data.

Thanks

Hello,

Yes your missing a bunch of needed code to make this code compile.

Unfortunately this is more general programming type stuff then NinjaScript support.

However if you post your full code on the forums here I can give it a quick debug to find the missing things you need.
