CrossAbove (Current Ask, Open price + Int Variable * TickSize)

[horacioofman]

Hi having a problem setting a very simple condition

// Condition set 1
if (CrossBelow(GetCurrentAsk(), Open - S1 * TickSize, 1)
&& Open[1] < Close[1]
&& Position.Quantity == 0
&& Bracket == false)
{
EnterLongStop(Q, Open[0], "TSTZLong");
}


Note that S1 is a Private int previously defined.

I am getting code NT0019.: Operator '-' cannot be applied to operands of type "NinjaTraderSata|DataSeries" and "double".


I have also tried:
if (CrossBelow(GetCurrentAsk(), Open (0) - S1 * TickSize, 1)
and got: CS0103: The name 'Open' does not exist in the current context.

I'll appreciate any help.

Thanks Horacio

Hello horacioofman,

Thanks for your first post in the forums!

The error message is advising that you cannot subtract a double value from a data series. In your code , Open - S1 * TickSize, 1), Open is a data series and S1 is a double type variable. You just need to specify which open value of the Open data series to subtract the S1 value from.

This code: Open (0) - S1 * TickSize, 1) is producing an error because the use of (0) makes the compiler think Open(0) is a method

I suspect you want this: Open[0] - S1 * TickSize, 1) In this case the square brackets are telling the compiler which data point in the data series of open to use.

Thanks Paul. You were right on the use of square parenthsis/brackets, but crossbellow funtion did not take the corrected statement either. I ended up using a >= operator for on currentprice(0):

if (GetCurrentAsk(0)< (Open[0]-S1 * TickSize ) ........

I think it is working. Thanks
