Making decisions on Position Profit or Loss

[daven]

I am getting error CS0019 on the code below. I am apparently trying to execute logic on
a string. How do I convert Position.AvgPrice to something I can test value on? Do I just set a variable equal to the Position Avg Price? If so, does that have to be a DataSeries, or just a simple variable that takes on the avg profit value?
Thanks

if(Position.MarketPosition = MarketPosition.Long
&& Close[0] < Position.AvgPrice

Hello Daven,

Position.AvgPrice is going to return a double value so you could use in calculations, or if you wanted to change the value of this number then you would want to set the value of Position.AvgPrice to another variable (a double) so that it can be modified.

Here is a few links that goes over Syntax, and the AvgPrice that you may view.

Also here is a reference sample on using trade performance statistics that you may want to view.

Quick note, I do see in your sample code that you are not using "==" to check to see if they are equal.
Here is a link to our help guide on compile error code CS0019.

Thanks JC,
It was the lack of the second = that caused all my issues. It is working fine now that I fixed that, thanks to your observation and references.
