Hello,

Thankyou for taking the time to read this and if you can help me that would be great !

I am trying to plot the value 1 if my condition is TRUE or -1 if my condition is false. I have tried for hours upon hours but still have not got it.

Here is what I have:

Inputs: Color(Yellow), Thickness(1);
Variables: HP(0), LP(0), HH(0),LL(0);

IF Time = 1200 Then Begin
HP = high;
LP = low;
Value1 = IFF( High > HP, 1,-1);
{Value2 = IFF( Low < LP, -1,1 );}

End;

Plot1 (Value1);

Joe50,

you evaluate your condition at 1200. At that time your code assigns the value of the reserved word High to your variable HP i.e. HP = High and thus your check for High > HP can never be true at 1200.
Without knowing what exactly you want to check for it's hard to point you into the right direction, but maybe you can elaborate a bit more on the exact condition you want to check for.

Oooooh I see what you mean.

I am trying to assign a 1 if anytime after 1200 if the high of 1200 bar is exceeded by .01 points ( 1 tick) or a -1 if the low of the 1200 bar is exceeded by .01 points or 1 tick.

Hmmm, I have alot to learn:

Inputs: Color(Yellow), Thicknes(1);
Variables: HP(0), LP(0), HH(0),LL(0);

IF Time = 1200 Then Begin
HP = high;
LP = low;
Value1 = IFF( High +.01 > HP, 1,-1);
Value2 = IFF( Low -.01 < LP, -1,1);

End;

Plot1 (Value1);
Plot2 (Value2);
{Plot3 (0);}

Joe50,

you evaluate you conditions within a if ... then begin ... end conditional branch i.e. only if Time = 1200 and since you assign High to HP at 1200 and perform your check at 1200 only, your condition High +.01 > HP will always be true.

Depending on the instrument you apply this to you might not need the additional +/-1 0.01, but to achieve what you have in mind the checks need to be moved out of the if Time = 1200 block. Otherwise they won't be evaluated every bar.

OK , I'll mess around with it.

Possible time > 1200 or >=1205

Thank You

Ok Got it !
