Question about UserDefinedMethods

[clint2008]

I'm using UserDefinedMethods.cs to store some basic coding to be able to reuse it in different strategies. It seems that the prices and positions are available to methods without passing them as variables. The question is are variables instantiated within your strategy? So will I be able to maintain a value within a method or should I keep the value locally stored within the strategy? (Maybe this is a General Programming question?)

Hello,

The availability of a variable is defined by what scope you give it. If you only allow it to be used within the method, you will only have access to it in that method. If you declare the variable in the Variables section you will have access to it throughout the entire strategy.
