Boolean Switch

[sburtt]

Hi Guys,

this is prob a general programming question, could anybody tell me how i can switch a bool within a strategy?

For example in the below script how do I switch the startstrategy bool automatically from true to false after first trade?

private bool startstrategy = true;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
	{
if (startstrategy == true)
{
DefaultQuantity = 100000;
Switch startstrategy to false;
}

Hello sburtt,

Thank you for your post.

So would this be True to enter the trade and set False once the entry has been placed?

I look forward to your response.

exactly, but i think the answer is quite simple

if (startstrategy == true)
{
DefaultQuantity = 100000;
Switch startstrategy = false;
}

Hello sburtt,

Thank you for your response.

I am not sure what you are attempting here. If I was going to set a bool for entry I would set some thing like the following:

if(startstrategy)
{
EnterLong();
startstrategy = false;
}

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
