I want to add use MFI filter as an option for this buy logic condition. How Do i implement it? Do i need another If statement or Switch statement? is there an example? Right now its complaining that method name is expected.Thank you
(MFI1[0] >= LevelForLongs)


Trade34BCCI = true;

LevelForLongs = 1;
LevelForShorts = 1;
MFIPeriod = 1;

MFI1 = MFI(Close, Convert.ToInt32(MFIPeriod));

else if (Trade34BCCI
&& (UseMFIFIlter == false)
&& emaAngulation > EMAAngulation * TickSize // EMA Angulation is greater then (x)
&& emaAngulationXBarsBefore > EMAAngulationXBarsBefore * TickSize // EMA Angulation X bars before - angulation not on current bar but 5 bars before for example
&& Close[1] < Open[1] // previous bar bearish
&& Low[0] < Low[1] // and low of signal bar is lower then previous bar
&& Low[0] < slowEMA[0] && Close[0] > slowEMA[0] + ABEMA34BCCI * TickSize
&& !(Open[1] < High[1] && Close[0] < High[1])

(UseMFIFIlter == true)
&& emaAngulation > EMAAngulation * TickSize // EMA Angulation is greater then (x)
&& emaAngulationXBarsBefore > EMAAngulationXBarsBefore * TickSize // EMA Angulation X bars before - angulation not on current bar but 5 bars before for example
&& Close[1] < Open[1] // previous bar bearish
&& Low[0] < Low[1] // and low of signal bar is lower then previous bar
&& Low[0] < slowEMA[0] && Close[0] > slowEMA[0] + ABEMA34BCCI * TickSize
&& !(Open[1] < High[1] && Close[0] < High[1])
&& (MFI1[0] >= LevelForLongs))
{
entryOrder = SubmitOrderUnmanaged(0, OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, TradeSize, 0, 0, "", "34BCCI");

return;
}

Hello tkaboris,

Thanks for your post.

The MFI() method will return a double value, such as 60.12, which could be used in a comparison in your script.

You could print out the MFI() method outside of your condition to place an order along with the Time[0] of the bar to see how the MFI() value is evaluating.

More information about the MFI() method and sample code could be seen in the help guide page linked below.

MFI(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._index_mfi.htm

You could also set up a condition using the MFI indicator in a Strategy Builder strategy and click the 'View code' button to see the generated syntax.

Ultimately, debugging prints should be added to the script to see exactly how the script is behaving and calculating logic.

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates how to use prints to understand behavior.
