if statement evaluated when false, HELP.

[GKonheiser]

I am trying to understand why an if statement is getting processed even tho it is false, I have walked thru the code in Microsoft Visual Studio and have confirmed that the values are false,

here is the code:-

 if((highTest - lowTest) < (softSpotRange * TickSize)) 
	{
	highTest = Math.Round(highTest - 1 * TickSize,2,MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero);
	lowTest  = Low[0];
	a=2; //retest full range
												
	      if((highTest - lowTest) < (softSpotRange * TickSize));
	      {
			stopLooking = true;
			break;
		}
							

	}

So when the first if statement is true highTest is reduced by 1 tick and lowTest is reset to Low[0]. The following if statement is then false but its getting processed????

So i have no idea why this is.

GKonheiser, it could only be processed if the condition would evaluate to 'true', there's no ambiguity here. How do you judge by it's getting processed? By your value for stopLooking being set to 'true'?

[GKonheiser]

I am stepping tho it with visual studio and it is processing inside the brackets. I have attached a screen shot. If you look at it you can see that the values equate to false but it is still looking inside the brackets???

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Is this the only location your stopLooking could be set to the 'true' value?

[GKonheiser]

No there are other places but that isn't the problem, you can see in the screenshot that the statement is false but the yellow arrow is still inside the brackets. If you step thou the code using f11 it would go inside the brackets if it wasn't processing it.

Your "if statement" is null, because of the semi-colon that I have emphasized in red.
