To write a shorter version for multiple bars closing greater than the open

[trdninstyle]

Instead of writing it like this: Close(3) > Open(3) && Close(2) > Open(2) && Close(1) > Open(1) && Close(0) > Open(0)

Can I write it more like this?

Close(3),2,1,0)); Similar to the slope which is where I saw it but want to apply it to the bars. Print(Slope(SMA(20), 10, 0));

If I can, I just want to see the correct way of writing it. Thanks.

Hi trdninstyle, thanks for posting. The only way to index the price value is Close[], with brackets. There is no short hand way to write this, you can add the code into a method so you do not need to keep writing the same code multiple times.

Kind regards,

Thanks, ChrisL,

Can you please show me a brief example? Just so I can better understand.

Hi trdninstyle, Im happy to help out. Please make sure to study the C# fundamentals as it will greatly help in speeding up NinjaScript development process. The Microsoft documentation is the best place for text based tutorials on the C# basics:

One way of doing this would be:

public class MyCustomIndicatorClass : Indicator
{

private bool MyCustomMethod()
{
return (Close[0] > Open[0]);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

    if(MyCustomMethod())
    {
       //the method returned true
    }

}

Thank you for showing me. I will study that.
