if statement

[safetrading]

I have a strategy which triggers a trade, but when I ask it to trigger the trade, I also ask it to toggle the value of a two variables, but it does not. My Code looks like this;

if(My criteria)

{
EnterLongLimit(2,Bollinger(1,21).Lower[0],"Long Recover RTM108");
SetProfitTarget("Long Recover RTM108", CalculationMode.Price, MyEntryPrice);
Long1 = 1;
Recover = 1;
}

In the above, the entry is made and the target is set, but my variables do not change to "1". I have verified this with the print statement. The variables are of the int type and start out as 0 value. Is my syntax incorrect? Am I limited to the number of lines I can write between the { } ?

Thanks,

Hello,

From what I can see here the code looks fine. However my first guess would be that you are not defining the variables properly.

You will want to ensure your variables are defined in the #Region Variables section above the OnBarUpdate() if you were to define them in the OnBarUpdate() they will be reset every new bar.

If this doesn't resolve the issue please attach the complete .cs file (or simplified version). If it's not too complex I can take a quick look at it.
