Trouble using negative numbers in IF statements

[Mikefra]

I'm trying to write some conditional code to evaluate if the slope of a line is greater than or less than 25 degrees. I've verified the ltSlope variable returns both positive and negative numbers. However, I can't get the ltSlope<-25 statement to work. The ltSlope>25 statement works fine.

What am I doing wrong?

double ltSlope = (Math.Atan(Slope(LinReg(80),8,0)/TickSize) * 180/Math.PI);

//Eval if slope is greater than 25 degrees
if (ltSlope>25)
{
DrawTextFixed("TrendSlope", "ST Trend:Strong Up \nSmall Slope:" + stSlope + "\nLarge Slope:" + ltSlope, TextPosition.TopRight, Color.White, textFont,Color.Black, Color.Green, 5 );
}
//Eval if slope is less than 25 degrees
if (ltSlope<-25)
{
DrawTextFixed("TrendSlope", "ST Trend:Strong Down \nSmall Slope:" + stSlope + "\nLarge Slope:" + ltSlope, TextPosition.TopRight, Color.White, textFont,Color.Black, Color.Red, 5 );
}

Hello Mikefra,

You'll want to print the value of your variable so you can verify it's what you expect.
Print(ltSlope);

You're also using the same tag as your other condition. The most recent bar only will be evaluated. Isolate one condition at a time. You might want to consider drawing arrows over individual bars and using an unique tag.
