Doing simple arithmetic conditionals in Strategy Builder
Is it possible to create calculations to test against in the "If" portion of the Strategy Builder?
Ex: If Close - Open < @userVariable, then in the "Do the following" section, set a variable? Ex: IsBigRed = TrueTags: None

Thanks, Playdc. That's pretty much what I did. Would've been nice to see Strategy Builder be able to do this. They have Offset, but it's very limited.

Hello Trader4Life,
Thank you for your post.
This is possible in the Strategy Builder but you would have to use a custom series. In one set, you would need to set the value of the custom series to Close-Open. Then in another set, you could create a condition to compare the value of the custom series to your user variable.

As Playdc suggested, this is simpler to implement using manual coding in the Editor and would not require you to create a series to store any values.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
