2 conditions IF statement ?

August 1st, 2019, 08:34 AM

I thought you could use 2 conditions within an If statement ?

Simple Example....RSI crossover signal

Plot crossover = if(rsi>50 and rsi[1[]<50,1,double.nan);

This does not work.....am I doing something wrong ? Or is it just not accepted, seems like I used it long ago but not working now.

Any help ? Thanks in advance

that you can create both a hierarchy or a confluence. But I have no idea how. Back in the day we built a "scoring" that was based on a series of "if then" type statements.

Best of luck with this.

Weird.....I tried again with the above and it did give me output, then I changed it to whats shown below and no signals at all !

Plot crossover = if(rsi>50 and rsi[1[]<50,1,double.nan);
Plot crossover2 = if(rsi<50 and rsi[1[]>50,1,double.nan);

kblaine123,

your code snippet "rsi[1[]" might set brackets incorrectly, but without seeing your full code it's hard to tell where the problem comes from exactly.
Apart from that you should also be able to check for a cross over using something along the lines of:

Code

plot Crossover = RSI(close, 14) crosses above 50;

plot Crossunder = RSI(close, 14) crosses under 50;

plot Cross = RSI(close, 14) crosses 50;

i just saw this, it might be the problem
rsi[1[]

change to
rsi[1]

----------------------------

maybe if this
Plot crossover = if(rsi>50 and rsi[1[]<50,1,double.nan);

is changed to this 50)
Plot crossover = if((rsi>50 and rsi[1]<50),1,double.nan);

but i've never used commas in thinkscript. i would write it this way
Plot crossover = if (rsi>50 and rsi[1]<50 ) then 1 else double.nan;

Just noticed, its for your first post and its a help, nice

That's sort of an awkward way to write a crossing condition in Thinkscript. The language provides a slightly more intuitive way.

Code

 if rsi crosses above 50 then 1 else Double.NaN;
