printing indicator results

[imalil]

I believe I have a farely simple question. I made an indicator that works fine. It prints on my charts fine. My problem is I want only a range of the results to print, not all results. For example: now it prints -n to 0 to n. No results are eliminated. I want it to print, for example, >=3 and <=-3. I don't want all the noise around the zero area.

I know this is done all the time but I don't know how to change my code to make this happen. Can someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks in advance,
C

Hello C,

Where you have your print. Put this in the action block of an if statement that checks the value of your variable being greater than -3 or less than 3.

if (myVar >= -3 && myVar <= 3)
{
Print("my print here");
}

Couple things:

I can't tell if you made a typo. I said >=3 and <=-3 and you replied >= -3 && myVar <= 3. Did you mean to write this?

Secondly, I don't know where to put the IF statement. Here is my print code. Does it go within or before? I keep getting errors.

DrawText("imbalance" + CurrentBar, AutoScale, (+ imbalance).ToString(), 0, High[0], 14, Color.Pink, ChartControl.Font, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);

Thank you,
C

Thank you,

I'm not sure what (+) does, I don't feel like testing. (I suspect nothing)

if ((+ imbalance) >= 3 || (+ imbalance) <= -3)
{

DrawText("imbalance" + CurrentBar, AutoScale, (+ imbalance).ToString(), 0, High[0], 14,				Color.Pink, ChartControl.Font, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);
}

if it doesn't work - try this:

if ( imbalance = 3 ||  imbalance <= -3)
{

DrawText("imbalance" + CurrentBar, AutoScale, (+ imbalance).ToString(), 0, High[0], 14,				Color.Pink, ChartControl.Font, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);
}
