if condition

[polo974]

hi,
i am new in coding, i would like to store the result of an if condition, and when another if condition will occur do smthing.

Ex: if SMA cross MA put a value to 1.(condition 1)
then when DC12 cross Linreg do smth (condition2)

i can do it it it is at the same OnBarUpdate.
But give me the way for put a flag on 1 and with condition2 do smthing.

Thanks

Hello polo974,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

In Ninjascript/C# you can create bool variables that are either true or false.

You can create bool variables in the #region Variables as well as set their initial state. For example:
private bool myCondition1 = false; // the bool myCondition1 is set to false when the strategy starts.

In the OnBarUpdate() method, you can create your conditions to set the bool, for example:

if (Crossabove (SMA(10), SMA(20), 1))
{
myCondition1 = true;
}

if (CrossAbove(SMA(30), SMA(40), 1) && myCondition1)
{
.// do something when cross above and myCondition1 are true.
}

You will need to determine when and how to reset the bool to false so that it can be used again when the condition becomes true again. For example:

if (CrossBelow (SMA(10), SMA(20), 1))
{
myCondition1 = false; // reset bool when conditions reverses
}
