Hi cirion, since this is a big 'or else' statment some condition will return true and therefore prevent this from being the filter you like to have for your 'deadzones' approach. Are you splitting between long / short no tradezones, or is it a more general idea? Otherwise you could simply create the no trade levels for the day and set a bool variable false when price is in those areas...

[cirion]

There is no difference between sell and buys just a complete deadzone. What would be the easiest way to create those no trade levels in your opinion

cirion,

Not sure what you mean exactly. If you don't want to trade in certain times I suggest you introduce a time filter and completely prevent any of your trading logic from processing within those times. http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3226

Thanks for the reply josh,

An example of what i am after is this.

Lets say the PP is 900.00 for the day i want a 5 * TickSize around the PP to be a no trade zone. So if Close[0] = any number between 901.25 down to 898.75 there will be no trades taken.

Hope that made sense.

Bracket your trade logic with an if-statement then.

if (Close[0] > 901.25 || Close[0] < 898.75)
{
     // some logic
     EnterLong();

     // other logic
     EnterShort();
}

While your suggestion will work for just the PP what about in this case.

((Close[0] < PPLow || Close[0] > PPHigh) || (Close[0] < S1Low || Close[0] > S1High) || (Close[0] < S2Low || Close[0] > S2High))

Where i want to do the no trade zone around PP S1-4 and R1-4

You suggesting an if statement for each one or with this in mind is an array better? (or another way)

It doesn't matter how you do it. There are many ways to skin a cat. You understand the general concept and as such it is just a matter of implementing it.
