conditions not working

[Jorge.andres.o]

Hello,

Can you please help me?

I m trying to test a few conditions to enter. But It does not work properly; it seems it only takes one condition and ignores the others, resulting in multiple entries. I cannot spot the error because there is no message.

if(VOLMA(20)[0] < Volumes[0][0] && smaD[0] > smaD[1] && Closes[1][0] > smaD[0]){
                    Draw.VerticalLine(this, CurrentBar.ToString(), 0, Brushes.Green, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 4, true);
                    EnterLong(0, Quantity, "Long");
                }​

Hello Jorge.andres.o,

The conditions that you have made are using just simple operators of greater or lesser values which would mean as long as the values continue to be greater or lesser the conditions will continue to be true.

As a first step you could print out the values you are using in the condition so you can see why the condition is true, that would help to highlight what the values are each time a new order is submitted.

If you are wanting to only place one trade another way would be to add a position check to the condition so it can only submit an order if you are flat. https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...marketposition

Jesse,

Thank you for the reply. I have checked and the algorithm is only checking for one condition. In other words, the algorithm triggers if only one condition is true.

Hello Jorge.andres.o,

Your if statement has 3 conditions and is using the && AND operator which means all three of those conditions would need to be true for the action to happen. You would need to use a Print in the condition and output the values so you can see what values are used each time the condition is true.

if(VOLMA(20)[0] < Volumes[0][0] && smaD[0] > smaD[1] && Closes[1][0] > smaD[0])
{
Print($"{VOLMA(20)[0]} < {Volumes[0][0]} && {smaD[0]} > {smaD[1]} && {Closes[1][0]} > {smaD[0]}");
}
