Programming Conditions

[wcmaria]

I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with regards to programming conditions into my code.

I am used to the Tradestation method of programming in which you can quickly identify say Condition1 = (insert condition), Condition2 = (insert condition) and so on and then in the end have an if statement.

if condition1 and condition 2 then do something

or

if condition 1 or condition 2 then do something.

I am currently trying to code an indicator that will indetify my setups with an up arrow or down arrow.

I have several condition that need to be meet in order to satisfy a trade setup or not.

What is the best way to code this?

Is it possible to use Bool statements for each condition with if statements, for example

bool condition1 = false;
bool condition2 = false;

if (high[0] > high[2]) {
condition1 = true}

if(low[3] < low[9]){
condition2 = true}

then have a statement at the end that checks for each condition to be true to run my code

if (condition1 && condition2){
drawarrowup}

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Hello,


Yes, this is one way of doing it. If you do it this way be sure you have a reset for your bools to set them back to false.

Another way would be to just have one large if statement like this:

if(high[0] > high[2] && low[3] < low[9])
{

DrawArrowUp("myArrowTag", true, Low[0], Color.Red);

}
