Operators in If instruction

[chartvisor]

I would like to use the bollinger bands with cellconditions in the Market Analyzer.
So I created the If-instructions to select the Priceposition near the Bands.
The If-instructions are not working and I don´t know why.





I would be glad if someone can help me.

I have here my cod -- OnBarUpdate:



protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
double smaValue = SMA(Period)[18];
double stdDevValue = StdDev(Period)[0];


Upper.Set(smaValue + NumStdDev * stdDevValue);
Middle.Set(smaValue);
Lower.Set(smaValue - NumStdDev * stdDevValue);


if (Close[0] >= (smaValue + NumStdDev * stdDevValue))
{
Value.Set(1); // to be green in Market Analyzer
}

else if (Close[0] <= (smaValue - NumStdDev * stdDevValue))
{
Value.Set(2); // to be red in Market Analyzer
}

else if (Close[0] >= smaValue)
{
Value.Set(3); // to be dark green in Market Analyzer
}

else if (Close[0] <= smaValue)
{
Value.Set(4); // to be dark red in Market Analyzer
}

else Value.Set(5);

// Alert("myAlert", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "Reached threshold", "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.Black, Color.Yellow);
}





For reply many thanks.

Hi chartvisor,

I recommend you add a print to your code and see what the value is before the condition.

Print("Close: "+Close[0]+" >= upper :"+(smaValue + NumStdDev * stdDevValue));
Print("Close: "+Close[0]+" <= lower: "+(smaValue - NumStdDev * stdDevValue));
Print("Close: "+Close[0]+" >= smavalue: "+smaValue);
Print("Close: "+Close[0]+" <= smavalue: "+smaValue);

What do you get for these prints?

(prints go to the output window (Tools -> Output Window...))
