Using variables set in OnPositionUpdate

[verge]

I am setting a variable within OnPositionUpdate which seems to not be available in the OnBarupdate method. I do not know C# very well (obviously). How is this done? Here is the relevant sections of my code:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{Print(Time[0].ToString() + " lngstop " + lngstop);
}

protected override void OnPositionUpdate(IPosition position)
{
if (position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
{double lngstop = swing(swlength).SwingLow[Swing(swlength).SwingLowBar(0,1,200)];
Print(Time[0].ToString() + position.ToString() + " " + lngstop);
}
}

The print in the OnBarUpdate method shows lngstop = 0 while the print in the OnPositionUpdate shows the correct value.

I want to use the lngstop value in the OnBarUpdate method to exit a trade. I declare the variable as follows in the variable section : private double lngstop; - is this what should change?

Hello Verge,

Thank you for your post.

You are declaring your variable an additional time within OnPositionUpdate()

 
 
protected override void OnPositionUpdate(IPosition position) 
{ 
if (position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long) 
{[COLOR=red][B]double[/B][/COLOR] lngstop = swing(swlength).SwingLow[Swing(swlength).SwingLowBar(0,1,200)];
Print(Time[0].ToString() + position.ToString() + " " + lngstop);
} 
}

Remove the word "double" and then recheck your values.
