Hello tonynt,

Thanks for your post.

% is a Modulus operator. It returns the remainder when the first value is integer divided by the second value.

A publicly available resource that can explain further can be found here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...s-divison-work

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Hello Jim,

thank you for your reply. OK, theoretically clear, not difficult if one knows. But what does mean with "if( CurrentBar % 2 ==0)"?

I cant get the idea of that logic.

Thank you!

Hello tonynt,

The condition reads "If the remainder of CurrentBar integer divided by 2 equals 0, do the following."

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hello,

thank you Jim and eDanny.

I found now the thread https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...de-buttons-nt8 and in #6 you replied me with this snippet.

In the meantime I could work out everything from the sample script and what I need but I still do not understand " if (CurrentBar % 2 == 0)"there.

Thank you!

Hello tonynt,

I may suggest to add the following print to better observe what the condition is evaluating.

Print(String.Format("CurrentBar {0} | (CurrentBar % 2) {1}", CurrentBar , (CurrentBar % 2)));

CurrentBar 245 | (CurrentBar % 2) 1
CurrentBar 246 | (CurrentBar % 2) 0
CurrentBar 247 | (CurrentBar % 2) 1
CurrentBar 248 | (CurrentBar % 2) 0
CurrentBar 249 | (CurrentBar % 2) 1
CurrentBar 250 | (CurrentBar % 2) 0

We look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello,

OK, this is clear. And now I understand that you have used this instead of a "normal" condition, that I would have understood when working with NT for years.

Thank you!
Tony
