Coding problem

[MJUK10]

I'm trying to exit a position if there is a increase in volume over the last two bars and the price goes below the lowest low of the last two bars. My code is below, I can't see anything wrong with this and it compiles ok but has no affect when back testing. 'Volnumber' is a variable interger everything esle is self explanatory.

if (Volume[0] > Volnumber
&& Volume[1] > Volnumber
&& GetCurrentAsk() < MIN ((Low), 2)[0])

{
ExitLong();
}

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mark, when backtesting GetCurrentAsk() will give the close of the bar. Please try this on a real-time test and see if the results are different. You can also add debugging statements to the code to ensure the conditions are being met, like this:

if (Volume[0] > Volnumber && Volume[1] > Volnumber)
{
   Print("volume is getting big");
   
   if (GetCurrentAsk() < MIN(Low, 2)[0])
   {
      Print("ask is less than low, exit position");
      ExitLong();
    }
}

Sorry to intrude with a trivia question here, but where does the debugging statement 'print' when you do this? On the chart somewhere?

Print displays in the output window.

Tools --> Output window.
Once you have this window open, refresh the chart with the indicator on it that has the "Print" code.
