I've always found ways around using arrays in the past by just using multiple variables, even knowing how useful they would be, so I've been attempting to learn the code. A few questions have come from it...
1) I think I want my arrays to have a specific size. So I've been creating them like so:
Question is.... a) did I create my array using the right syntax or could it be simpler even, b) does the way I've initialized my array - using loCount variable for the size - allow it to be expanded/contracted depending on what happens to loCount variable in the code, and c) when array is contracted, from say 9 to 8, I first do the opposite of above by making the value at place [0] = [1], from 0 to 8, and then i say loCount = loCount-1, hoping that it's the last value that will be eliminated. Make sense? Is that what happens?
2) I created another array, I wanted it to contain boolean values, true or false.
//Variables
private bool oneTime = true;
private DataSeries tradeOK;
//Initialize
bool[] tradeOK = new bool[oTot];
//OnBarUpdate
Question is it keeps giving me a cannot implicitly convert type 'bool' to 'double' CS0029 Error. Why? I thought I created a DataSeries for boolean values, and then tried to assign it boolean values, what's wrong?
Hope everything is clear enough - thanks in advance for the help!

1) I think I want my arrays to have a specific size. So I've been creating them like so:
Code:
#region Variables
private int loCount = 0;
private DataSeries swingLow;
#endregion
protected override void Initialize()
{
double[] swingLow = new double[loCount]; // Collect all the swingLows
}
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (some conditions are satisfied, add one to swing loCount number, shift all previous values to the right and create a new, latest swingLow point at [0])
{
loCount = loCount +1;
for (int i = loCount; i > 0; i--)
{
swingLow[i] = swingLow[i-1];
}
}
}
swingLow[0] = Low[2];
2) I created another array, I wanted it to contain boolean values, true or false.
//Variables
private bool oneTime = true;
private DataSeries tradeOK;
//Initialize
bool[] tradeOK = new bool[oTot];
//OnBarUpdate
Code:
while (oneTime == true) // Want it to assign all the values in this array initially as true....
{
for (int i = 0; i < oTot; i++)
{
tradeOK[i] = true;
}
oneTime = false;
}
// then later, i run a loop trying to find the first entry that has a tradeOK[z] = true value
int z = 0;
while (z < oTot)
{
if (tradeOK[z] = true)
{
....
Hope everything is clear enough - thanks in advance for the help!
