How to store a value to recall later?

[ImaNinja2]

Hi,
I just want to store a value when a particular condition is met, and be able to recall that specific value later in the script (to exit a position)...i tried myDataSeries.Set, but was not able to store the value. please help


example:
double value1 = ATR(100)[0]*500;
If a condition is met
{
store the value1
EnterLong("");
}
if (Close[0] >= value1 + 100)
{
ExitLong("");
}

Your variable declaration should be in the Variables region of the code as private double. If you did it in OnBarUpdate() you would be overwriting it on every single bar update event.

u r right, i am declaring them on OnBarUpdate()...but i am not sure how i can define variables in region variables, when i am using barsarrays & indicators

would i just simply add this in the region variables section??
private double value1 = ATR(100)[0]*500;

Just declare it in the Variables region with a 0 as the initial value. Then you can overwrite it when necessary in OnBarUpdate().

Declaring the variable in region variables with 0 as the initial value solved it.

Thanks a lot for your help Josh!
