Holding A Value

July 8th, 2019, 10:44 AM

Hi,

I am using Tradestation 2000i which is similar to the newer versions.

Anyway, this is what I am trying to do:

I created a script where

If X = 3 then Begin

HP = High
LP = Low

end;

IF X > 3 Then Begin

Value1 = IFF (High > HP, 1,0);
Value2 = IFF (Low < LP,-1,0);

End;

How do you code the following:

If Value1 = 1 then Begin

HP2 = High

If Value2 = -1 then Begin

LP2 = Low

end;
end;

What I am trying to do is capture the high and low price of the exact moment when value1 and value2 occur. How is this done ?

Thankyou to all who reads this.

There's probably better ways to do it but maybe try something like this:
if (value1 = 1 and value1[1] = 0) then HP2= high else hp2 = hp2[1];

Bare in mind if you are looking for the exact moment that value1 turns true it's exactly when high > hp, therefore hp2 will be just 1 tick higher than hp

Oh , I see what you are doing. Smart. Let me mess with this and see what happens.

Thankyou for your reply !

Joe50,

you could also do this within the following block. Instead of using IFF you could use a regular if... then begin statement and store a value in a variable when the condition you check for is true.

Code

IF X > 3 Then Begin

Value1 = IFF (High > HP, 1,0);
Value2 = IFF (Low < LP,-1,0);

End;

Hi ABCTG,

Thankyou always taking the time to reply to me !

OK, That is good to know. I am trying to figure out how to get the HHV/LLV between the two values HP and LP.

Do you think that would work using HHV or LLV ?

Thankyou for the clue !

Joe50,

depends on what you mean with HHV/LLV.

Hello ABCTG,

Thankyou for your reply.

The Highest High if Value1 = 1 and Value2 = 0 or the Lowest Low if Value1 = 0 and value 2 = -1.

Joe50,

you can use a new variable and when ever High > HP you would check if the High is also higher than this new variable and if it is update it to the new higher high. Depending on your intentions it could also make sense to reset this new variable to High at "If X = 3", too.

Hello ABCTG,

Thankyou for your reply.

The Highest High if Value1 = 1 and Value2 = 0 or the Lowest Low if Value1 = 0 and value 2 = -1.

Hello ABCTG,

OK, I will try this. I'll see what happens.

Thank You Again !
