Negative Intergers

[heyligerb]

I'd like to setup a strategy I can apply to the TIKI to see when it hits a positive/negative variable, then play an alert.

I've successfully set this up on the TIKI using a positive number, but I can't get it working with the TIKI hits a negative number.

Is this some sort of limitationt in Ninja Trader, or am I doing about programing this the wrong way?

From my limited programing experinece, I understand intergers can't be negative, but a string variable could be. But it won't accept a string when I go to program the "if >= X" portion of the stragety... for obvious reaseons.

Any help is greatly appercaited.

Integers are capable of being negative. Please post what you have as your code so we can further assist. Thank you.

Also, you mean TIKI as in the index not a custom indicator correct? Thanks.

Here it is...

I don't think the problem is with the strategy, I think it with the application of the strategy. The problem arises when I apply the strategy to the chart. So, I've included a few screen shots of what happens when I'm applying it.

The "TICKLow" field, I populate with "-999," then when I move to the next field in the window, it automatically reverts it to the "1."

The strategy and the screen shots are attached.

    set {[COLOR=Red][B] tICKHigh = Math.Max(1, value);[/B][/COLOR] }

{
    get { return tICKLow; }
    set { [COLOR=Red][B]tICKLow = Math.Max(1, value); [/B][/COLOR]}
}

What is in red is what is causing your value to reset to 1 when you try to set anything below it. Just remove the Math.Max function and leave value.

set { tICKLow = value; }
