Crossover Filtering

[phoenix]

Having a problem adding a 'filter' condition to DrawDownArrow.

I have been able to program a simple DrawDownArrow and it works fine.

if (CrossBelow(Leader, 0, 1);
{
DrawArrow("MyDownArrow1"+CurrentBar, 0, High[0]+4* TickSize, Color.Black);
}

Everything works fine with that.

But, have not been able to add a simple filter. Have been able to get it to compile various ways, but the result is always the same (see attached)

if ((Diff[0] < .2) && CrossBelow(Leader, 0, 1)); //then Draw
if (Diff[0] < .2 && CrossBelow(Leader, 0, 1)); //then Draw

The output seems to ignore the second condition, ie CrossBelow.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Hi phoenix,

Thank you for your post.

I suggest nesting the if statements to organize the code.
Something like...

if (Diff[0] < .2)
{
if (CrossBelow(Leader, 0, 1))
{
DrawArrowDown()
}
}

Tim,

Thanks for you reply.

I did that one also, but will give it another go this weekend ...maybe I had the brackets wrong.

You can also try

if ((Diff[0] < .2) && CrossBelow(Leader, 0, 1))
{
"Do something"
}

Notice the curly braces and lack of semi colon, ;, after if statement.

Hey Tim,

Doing...

if ((Diff[0] < .2) && CrossBelow(Leader, 0, 1))
{
"Do something"
}

...worked.

Must have been at it tooooo long last night...knew there was something simple I was missing.

Thanks for the help.
