what's the best way to multiple if statements

[Cowboy]

Hi I'm new to coding.
If I need multiple if conditions, is it best to separate them by line?
eg,

if
atr >X);
(any of three indicators > X);
(any of two indicators > X);
(any one indicator > X);

else if
(atr < X);
(any of three indicators < X);
(any of two indicators < X);
(any one indicator < X);

or make one quadruple long condition statement
eg.,
(any of three indicators > X) || (any of two indicators > X) || (any one indicator > X);

else if
(any of three indicators < X) || (any of two indicators < X) || (any one indicator < X);

Cowboy, I'm not sure exactly what you're meaning on the first example, the ; terminates the expression. You're essentially still using the same technique of nested if's here with is legal in C#. When you're using using the && or || operators though you want to be aware that C# short circuit evaluates them, meaning as soon as the overall result of the expression is known, no other parts are evaluated (the && operator only evaluates the first Boolean if false, the || operator only evaluates the first Boolean if true).

Bertrand thanks for the reply.
Let me try to say this in english as that language I do speak. lol

I want a code that says if all 3 events happen do this; if 2 of 3 event happen do another thing; and if only 1 of the three events happen do this third thing. This set of if commands are for a bull direction (>).

Then the same commands would be there only for bear commands <

I'm not sure how to code this

Was I able to express this more clearly?

Thanks

Just use a counter?

int eventTotal = 0;

if (condition1Happens) eventTotal++;
if (condition2Happens) eventTotal++;
if (condition3Happens) eventTotal++;

if (eventTotal == 3) {...}
else if (eventTotal == 2) {...}
else if (eventTotal == 1) {...}

Thanks, I'll try this - coding all new to me - very interesting what can be achieved
