Logical Comparisons of BarArray and Time values Question

[Kel108]

I want to do some logical comparisions:

one for secondary data and one for time.

For secondary data I wanted to do the following:

if BarsArray[2] > upBegin then...
// perform an action

Before I manually edited the script I used the wizard to create the upBegin valuable which is int a constant ...i.e.
privateint upBegin = 1000; // Default setting for UpBegin

and also has the wizard created properties in the property section of the code.

The BarsArray[2] data is meant to be market statistically data so seems to be integer values and I believe I have defined that correctly.

When ever I try to do this I get CS0019 error code - not sure what I need to do to do this type of logical comparison. Is there some sort of typing I need to do?

For a time comparison I ran into a similar error condition when doing the following:

if (Time[0].DayOfWeek == dayOfWeek)return;

where dayofWeek is
privateint dayOfWeek = 5; // Default setting for DayOfWeek


Any insight is appreciated....thanks so much

Hello Kel108,
If you evaluate your code as stated below then can you compile your code correctly.

if ((int)Time[0].DayOfWeek == dayOfWeek)return;

I look forward to assisting you further.

Thanks Joydeep - much appreciated - that worked nicely...however when I tried the same thing with

if (BarsArray[2] > upBegin)
// perform an action

I got a message that I could not perform a type conversion for ninja data. So is there a way I can make UpBegin the same datatype for easy comparison?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Ed,
Are you trying to compare the data with the close of the 2nd secondary series? If so then please use the below code

if (Closes[2][0] > upBegin)
{
   //do something
}

Yes I was thank you so much - eventually I will get the hang of all this...but sometimes I learn in a painfully slow manor
