Signing a value "-" before converting

[marc0]

Hello all,

how do I compute...
(double)alSells[CurrentBar]
...with the negative of the actual value of alSells[CurrentBar]?

I tried...
(double)(- alSells[CurrentBar])
(double) (-1)*alSells[CurrentBar])
...and it won't work.

Can you help me?

Hi marc0,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Multiplying a value times -1 should do the trick.

double myNegativeClose = Close[0] * -1;
Print(myNegativeClose);

Hey RyanM,

it doesn't work yet as I use it in the context of...

Values[0].Set( (double) [expression] )

How is it done then?

Thanks in advance.

This works OK, returns negative Close.

Values[0].Set(Close[0] * -1);
