how to negative a user input within the strategy builder ?

[qewcool]

Hi

how to negative a user input that is originally inputted as a positive number within the strategy builder ?

I want to use a user input both as a positive value and negative value for conditions in my strategy but i cannot find a way to reference the negative value of the user input

this is what I want to do :

if condition > UserInput then Action1
if condition < -UserInput then Action2

how do I specifiy the -UserInput in the strategy builder ? or is it only possible if I go manual ninjascript editing


Thank you

Hello qewcool,

Thanks for your post.

With unlocked code, you can apply a mathematical offset to a variable. I.E.

myVariable = -(MyInput);

Mathematical offsets to variables and user input is limited in the Strategy Builder, so I may suggest implementing 2 inputs and leaving a note in the description for the user input that one value should be positive and the other negative.

I look forward to assisting.
