Coding structure questions

[dirtybrown]

Hello. I have the following code in my OnBarUpdate() method:

  if (UpTriangleTimeTakenConverted <= 10000)
    {
        //LASTUPCARAT    
        lastupcarattimetaken = Now.Subtract(lastupcarat);
        if (lastupcarattimetaken <= SpanThreshold)
        {
           
        }
        //LASTUPDOT
        lastupdottimetaken = Now.Subtract(lastupdot);
        if (lastupdottimetaken <= SpanThreshold)
        {
            upprobability++;
        }
        //PRICEBELOWBLUE
        pricebelowbluetimetaken = Now.Subtract(pricebelowblue);
        if (pricebelowbluetimetaken <= SpanThreshold)
        {
            upprobability++;
        }
        //YELBELOWBLUE
        yelbelowbluetimetaken = Now.Subtract(yelbelowblue);
        if (yelbelowbluetimetaken <= SpanThreshold)
        {
            upprobability++;
        }         
        //print arrows*upprobability

So the value of upprobability will determine how many times I want to print an up arrow. More than 1 arrow per bar should print each subsequent arrow underneath the last arrow by about 2-3 pips. Any idea how I can dynamically structure this statement to accomplish the task? Right now, the y values are hard coded.

    DrawArrowUp("Up Arrow5_1" + CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] - .0009, Color.Green);    
        DrawArrowUp("Up Arrow5_2" + CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] - .00012, Color.Green);
        DrawArrowUp("Up Arrow5_3" + CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] - .00015, Color.Green);
        DrawArrowUp("Up Arrow5_4" + CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] - .00018, Color.Green);
        DrawArrowUp("Up Arrow5_4" + CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] - .00021, Color.Green);

This is the correct logic

if (UpTriangleTimeTakenConverted <= 10000) 
    { 
        upprobability++; 
        //LASTUPCARAT     
        //Timespan lastupcaratdt=lastupcarat; 
         
        lastupcarattimetaken = Now.Subtract( lastupcarat); 
        if (lastupcarattimetaken <= SpanThreshold) 
        { 
           upprobability++; 
        } 
        //LASTUPDOT 
        lastupdottimetaken = Now.Subtract(lastupdot); 
        if (lastupdottimetaken <= SpanThreshold) 
        { 
            upprobability++; 
        } 
        //PRICEBELOWBLUE 
        pricebelowbluetimetaken = Now.Subtract(pricebelowblue); 
        if (pricebelowbluetimetaken <= SpanThreshold) 
        { 
            upprobability++; 
        } 
        //YELBELOWBLUE 
        yelbelowbluetimetaken = Now.Subtract(yelbelowblue); 
        if (yelbelowbluetimetaken <= SpanThreshold) 
        { 
            upprobability++; 
        }          
        
        //print arrows*upprobability 
        float x=.0006F; 
        for (int h=0; h<=upprobability; upprobability--) { 
             x+=.003F;             
            DrawArrowUp("Up Diamond2_1" + x, 0, Low[0] - x, Color.Green);     
             
        }

---------
last up carat vars are defined like this:

private TimeSpan lastupcarat=TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2);
private TimeSpan lastupcarattimetaken=TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0);


On this line:

lastupcarattimetaken = Now.Subtract( lastupcarat);

I get error: Cannot implicitly convert System.DateTime to System.Timespan

Unfortunately this is beyond the level of support we offer - did you check into MSDN already? I would guess lastupcarat needs to be DateTime instead of TimeSpan though...
