cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'bool'

[kaywai]

What does this mean? Below are the parameters i have...

double value5 = PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[1];
double value6 = PriorDayOHLC().PriorOpen[1];
double valuex = 0;

if (value5 = value6)
{
valuex = (((2*value5) + truehigh + truelow)/2);
}

For other 'if' statements like
if (value5 < value6) and
if (value5 > value6)

there were no error messages. Please help.

kaywai, to check if something is equal, please use ' == '.

A equal sign is just an assignment (i.e. myValue = 100).

Perfect! Thanks Bertrand!

Another question I have is say for valuex, I have derived a value and would like to draw a line at that data point in a minute chart across the trading day. How would I be able to do that?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Try for example such a call -

 
DrawLine("myLine1", Bars.BarsSinceSession, 1100, 0, 1100, Color.Chocolate, DashStyle.Dot, 3);

1100 is your custom value for Y axis then.

Thanks Bertrand!

Bertrand, would you mind taking a look at this line for me? I've gotten 5 similar lines to draw but this particular line just won't draw! I tried the Print function and I am able to get a value...please help!

projectedlow = (valuex - truehigh);
DrawLine("myLine2", Bars.BarsSinceSession, projectedlow, 0, projectedlow, Color.Red, DashStyle.Solid, 2);

You should check the Control Center logs for errors. If you are drawing outside the visible range of the y-axis you will also not see that line depending on the y-value you are drawing at.

[kaywai]

Yup. It is "out of range". Is there any way we can shift the chart up and down?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

kaywai,

Drag the y-axis with your mouse to bring more price ranges into view.

[kaywai]

Josh, I can drag to left to right and vice versa. I can't drag the chart up and down though. BTW i'm not using NT7...

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

kaywai,

Drag the actual y-axis itself, not the chart.

[kaywai]

Josh, NT is amazing!

Both you and Bertrand have been a tremendous help this week!

I would like to wish the both of you an excellent weekend!
