Q: How do I save and use code later in script?

[Austiner87]

Hi NT8 support,

I'd like to do the following; save a code snippet so I can use it in multiple spaces later in the script so I don't have to copy and paste it into all subsequent if statements:


(Save Code [how do I do this]):
{
Condition 1
&& Condition 2
}



if ( Condition 3
&& Condition 4
&& (Saved Script)

)
{
//do something
}

if ( Condition 5
&& Condition 6
&& (Saved Script)
)
{
//do something
}



Thank you!

Hello Austiner87,

Thank you for the post.

That is a good use case for a bool or a bool method:

bool myBool = condition1 && condition2;
bool myBool = ( (Close[0] > Open[0]) && (High[0] > Open[0]) )

if(condition3 && myBool)

You can also make a return method:

private bool MyMethod()
{
    return (Close[0] > Open[0]) && (High[0] > Open[0]);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    if(condition3 && MyMethod())
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.
