store value

[tonynt]

Hello,

I have a problem and couldnt find an answer in the forum or do not understand correctly. I simply want to store the high and low of a bar to a double when a condition is true. I have done in my script, but the problem is that when the condition is true with the next bars, the high and the low in my double is changing with every bar. But I need to have stored always the high and low of the first bar when condition was true, and not changing the double with from the next bars.

Thank you
Tony

Hello Tony,

Use a bool that is initialized as false.

Require the bool to be false to set the double variable values.

When the values are set set, set the bool to true.

Could you give an example of storing the high price?

Thanks.

brucelevy,

here it is how I do:

in region Variables:

double myhighprice = 0;
double mylow = 0;

in region OnBarUpdate

if(your conditions)
{...
myhighprice = High[0];
mylow = Low[0];
...
}

Best
Tony
