Adding a point system

[Ousher]

I have a bunch of rules that I want to assign a point system to if the its true and get a total point at the end.

For example,

If 3 of my rules are

Close[0] > Open[0]
VOL1[0] > VOLMA[0]
ADX1 > 25

And only 2 of them are true, then total point will be 2 points
If all 3 are true, then total point will be 3 points, etc.

Is this possible? If so, how to achieve this?

Thanks!

Hello Ousher,

Thank you for your reply.

I would create a counter variable to hold the current number of points in and reset it to zero, then check each rule and if true, add 1 to your counter variable. Then, when you've checked each set of rules, you can get the total points from your counter variable.

For example:

int myCount = 0;

if (Close[0] > Open[0])
{
myCount++;
}

if (Vol1[0] > VOLMA[0])
{
myCount++;
}

if (ADX1 > 25)
{
myCount++;
}

Print("Total points: " + myCount);

If two of the three rules are true, you would see "Total Points: 2" printed in the NinjaScript Output window using the above code.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

THanks! That works.

Question, is it possible to assign a custom value to each rule/statement instead of everything being 1?

"myCount++" simply increments by 1. "myCount--" would decrement by 1. And "myCount = myCount + increment" would increment by the value of "increment", and similarly to decrement (using minus, of course). Finally, there's "myCount = amount" where the amount is simply a specific value you choose.
