Simple thing: Switch expression

[kabott]

Hi all, i want to use the Switch expresion to change Price types: Close, Median, Open etc.

ive seen how to switch period types:

switch(myPtype)
{
case TimeframeType.Week:
Add(PeriodType.Week, mayorTimeframePeriods);
break;

case TimeframeType.Day:
Add(PeriodType.Day, mayorTimeframePeriods);
break;

}

but i don't know how to implement a price type switcher, since i haven't seen any examples on it.

Any help will be appreciated, Thanks in advance

Kabott,

Thank you for your post.

You can use the enum PriceType for your switch case.

switch(PriceType)
	{
		case PriceType.Open:
			Add(PeriodType.Minute, 5);
			break;
		default : 
			Add(PeriodType.Minute, 3);
			break;
	}

Hey cal, thanks for the quick answer, is there a way to have them separatedly? meaning, a switch for the Price Type and an other one for the Price Type? that's what im trying to do, thanks again Cal

Kabott,

Not sure I'm following along, are you wanting a switch in a switch?

Could you elaborate more here?

Well, i wanna switch between average types and price types, for example i wanna be able to select
which average type : EMA, TEMA, etc..
and on which price type should be that average applied, meaning on close, on medians, on typical etc

Parameter 1= Select Average Type (EMA, TEMA, SMA, etc)
Parameter 2= Select Price Type (Open, Close, Low, High, etc)

so, basically i wanna experiment with many averages and piloting variations so i wanna make a slingshot (2 ma indicator) to find the best combinations

Kabott,

Take a look at the Moving Average Cross Builder link below -

This will show you how to create an enum that you can then use to determine which Moving Average is being used like SMA, EMA, so forth.
