bool variable keeps changing

[only_nq]

So i have a bool variable called, "EnableLong". It's set as true under State.SetDefaults. i havent had any issues with it until today. For some reason, it keeps changing to False when i run my custom strategy. I've commented out all instances of "EnableLong = false;" Yet it still changes to false. Is that even possible?

Hello only_nq,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

If it's been set to false at any time it will remain false.
State.SetDefaults runs for the new instance of the script and never again.
If you want to reset this to true each time you run the script, set this to true in State.DataLoaded, which runs each time the script is enabled.

thanks for the suggestion. It turns out, i had a statement: "else if (EnableLong = true .... " with one equal sign, and compile didnt catch that? So i guess that's where EnableLong was changed to false. i thought that's not possible inside if else structure...

Hello only_nq,

Assignments can be done in branching commands. One equal sign will always be an assignment, two equal signs will always be a comparison.
