Re: [amibroker] Need help with setting a variable to 1 if condition is matched otherwise set to 0

[Graham <kavemanperth@xxxxxxxxx>]

Assume you want to check if the bars are exactly one minute apart, this will give 0 or 1 result
You just needed double equal sign for equality of values, not single

Current_Timenum=TimeNum();
Previous_Timenum=Ref(TimeNum(),-1);
Newbar_Difference=Current_Timenum-Previous_Timenum;
 NewBar_Started = Newbar_Difference 
==100;


Also you incorrectly used IIF and IF functions, IF is only suitable in loops, or if using static values (not arrays)
To write using IIF to get same as above, but the IIF is not required for straight 0 or 1 values
 NewBar_Started = 
iif( Newbar_Difference ==100, 1, 0) ;

Hello,

 

I have this into support as well...wondering if anyone can take a stab at this on the groups here.

 

Basically i want newbar_started to be set to 1 when Newbar_Difference=100 otherwise set to 0.  I would then like this NewBar_Started=1 to be ANDed inside if statement.

 Obviously I am missing something here, so the below code is not working.

 

Current_Timenum=TimeNum();
Previous_Timenum=Ref(TimeNum(),-1);
Newbar_Difference=Current_Timenum-Previous_Timenum;
Newbar_Difference_100=(Newbar_Difference =100);
"Newbar_Difference is "+Newbar_Difference;

if(( Newbar_Difference ==100) ) NewBar_Started = 1;
else if ( Newbar_Difference <>100 ) NewBar_Started = 0;
"NewBar_Started is "+NewBar_Started;

if(NewBar_Started=1 AND LastValue(Ref( Cover, -1) ) )

{

mvOrderOIF =

"1"+","+

Broker_Symbol+

","+ "BUYSTOP" +

","+ 2 +

","+ (High+Entry_Offset_For_ScalperTrades) +

","+ (Low-Stop_Offset_For_ScalperTrades) +

","+ (High+-EXIT_Offset_For_ScalperTrades) +

"," + ScalperSwing_BuyStrategy_Name;

thanks,Padhu
