Else If Exit Conditions

[amigatlin]

Hello,

Is it possible to create 2 exit conditions with an esle if statement within NT8?

For example, I want the trades to exit on the first exit statement. But IF the second exit statement happens before the first exit statement; exit on the second statement. I hope im explaining this correctly. Also if this is the appopriate way to do this, is there a way to complete this in strategy builder or manually coding is the only option for an else if statement.

if (CrossBelow(DEMA1, SMA1, 1))
{
EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "", @"enterLong1");
}

If (CrossAbove(DEMA1, SMA1,1))
{
ExitLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "", @"enterLong1");
}
else if (CrossAbove(DEMA2,SMA2,1))
{
ExitLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "", @"enterLong1");

Hello amigatlin,

An 'else if' branching command would have to manually coded. In the Strategy Builder, these would be separate conditions, that are mutually exclusive (meaning one can't be true if the other is true.

However, you can nest if statements in C#.

Below is a link to a tutorial from a google search of 'C# nested if'.

Currently, the code you have suggested is not nested.

if (/* outer condition that must be true for both inner conditions */)
{

    if (/* first inner connection */)
    {
        // 
    }

    else if (/* second inner condition only evaluated if the first inner condition is not true */)
   {
      //
   }
}
