Confused

[Mindset]

This plots

	if(Low[0] == Close[0] &&  High[1] == Close[1]) 
				  Plot0.Set(0);

but this doesn't

	if(High[0] <= High[1] && Low[0] >= Low[1])	//Inside Bar type
			
			   Plot0.Set(0);

<== doesn't compile so I am stuck!!

If things don't compile, please provide the error list.

error

invalid expression term '='

I have tried making the condition a true/false and then only plotting when true but this compiles but no plots.

Mindset,

Don't feel bad. We all made this same mistake.

I wish NT would automatically build this into every chart!!!!!

Sigh !!!!!!

Insert the following "if" statement where shown.

----------------------------------------------------------
protected override void OnBarUpdate()

{

if ( CurrentBar < 2) return;

Always check the LOG tab when things seem funny.

can't believe that



I spent an hour trying various things and that really is c# 101.
