Why NT7 treats the indicator value as Strings?

[wolfcuring]

I have some simple code, as follows:

if ( MACD(BarsArray[2],12,26,9)[0]>MACD(BarsArray[2],12,26,9).Avg[0]>0) 
      {
			bool	trendUp=true;
      }

The error code is CS0019, stating that a bool and int can not be compared with > .

Thanks !!

Hello wolfcuring,

Thanks for your post.

You have two logical evaluations but only 3 variables. You would need to either eliminate one evaluation or add another variable. I'll re-write the two possible ways I can see this:

1) test that Macd line is greater than the average line

if ( MACD(BarsArray[2],12,26,9)[0] > MACD(BarsArray[2],12,26,9).Avg[0]) 
      {
	   bool	trendUp = true;
      }

2) Test that the MACD line is great than the average line and test that the MACD line is greater than 0 and test that the average line greater than 0.

if ( MACD(BarsArray[2],12,26,9)[0] > MACD(BarsArray[2],12,26,9).Avg[0] 
&& MACD(BarsArray[2],12,26,9)[0] > 0 && MACD(BarsArray[2],12,26,9).Avg[0] > 0) 
      {
	 bool	      trendUp = true;  
      }
