plots current bar but nothing else

Hi there,

v simple, why is it that if i have SMA(4)[2] in the if statement i get nothing on chart or in output window

but when I change it to SMA(4)[0] it works?

what do i have to do to get it to work with 2 etc.?

if (CurrentBar < 1) return;

double sum = 6;

if (SMA(4)[2] > 0) ;
Print ("3<0 pos sum " + sum + " SMA2 " + SMA(4)[0]);


TF.Set(sum/6);

Hi there

hmm, yea, I have tried that.

1. When I try the first example

it compiles OK but no output.

2. when i try the second i get an error on compile for the line
double sum = 6
embedded statement can't be a declaration or labeled statement

I can programe in vba, but this is totally new to me and i'm sure it's something simple i'm doing wrong, just been striping code out and building up, checking it, adding one line at a time but can't get past this.

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Close[0] > Close[Math.Min(CurrentBar, 1)])
//if (CurrentBar < 1) return;
double sum = 6;

if (SMA(4)[2] > 0) ;
Print ("3<0 pos sum " + sum + " SMA2 " + SMA(4)[0]);


TF.Set(sum/6);
}

Not sure what you want to achieve but your code below is incorrect and won't even compile.

Unfortunately we can not provide support down to the level of plain C# coding but here are two hints. Try:

if (CurrentBar < 2) return;

if (SMA(4)[2] > 0) ; <- semicolon probably incorrect

Brilliant!

the 2 thing worked, cheers for that
