How do I add aditional Variables

[kelliot]

Can I add more than the variable1 - variable0 to a strategy? I am not using the wizard and need more variables.

How do I use the bool? When I set the private bool "name" = true, I can't put a statement in a condition or action it give me error. Can you give me an example of its use?

Thanks
Ken

Hello Ken,

Thank you for your post.

You can create however many variables you need. Are you asking how to create variables?

The bool would be checked like the following:

if(myBool)
// True
if(!myBool)
// False

Or you could do the following:

if(myBool == true)
// True
if(myBool == false)
// False

Hello kelliot,

Thanks for your post.

You can create and declare your variables in the #Region variables section. Here is an example of each common (there are a few more) type, the variable's name is in bold for your convienience:

#region Variables

private int zoneStrength = 5; // Creates an integer variable and assigns it the default/initial value of 5
private bool useMtf = true; // Creates a bool variable and assigns it True
private Color supColor = Color.DarkGray; // Create a color variable assigns it darkgray
private Font textFont = new Font("Arial", 8); // creates a Font set called textFont
private double upperLine,lowerLine,currAtr; // creates three double variables with null values initially
private string val; // Create a string variable

#endregion

Where are Variable0 through variable9 set? I dont see them to use them as an example

So in the region i would use the following
Private int variable11 = 0
Private int variable12 = 0

I want to ue them with numeric values or set something like
Variable11 = 1
Variable12 = close[0] + stoploss

Hello kelliot,

Thanks for your post.

Sorry for any confusion, I wanted to give you a view of different variable types (int, double, bool, etc) and where the names were shown in bold could easily have been named variable11, variable12, etc.

In your example, with variable12, would generate an error because you have declared variable12 as an integer and the expression Close[0] + stoploss would resolve to a double so it is important to understand what kind of variable you need to declare.
