Hi All,

I'm trying to get thinkscript to populate a def based on a value returned from a conditional statement for example:

def Bias = if upBias > dnBias1 and upBias[1] <= dnBias[1] then 1 else if upBias < dnBias1 and upBias[1] >= dnBias[1] then 2 else 0;

The above statement is fine in thinkorswim, it's the next statement that I'm not sure how to write in thinkorswim:

if Bias == 1 then line1 = upBias and line2 = dnBias else line1 = dnBias and line2 = upBias

How do I write the above in a way that thinkscript likes? Thank you for any help, this is baffling me.

Edit: Hi Admins, I didn't see the thinkorswim Programming sub-forum above... can we move this post to that sub-forum? Thank you. Sorry about that.

Yaay I've figured it out. I guess i should've known... you can just include the datapoint in the conditional statement. For anybody else's future reference, the way to do the above is as follows:


Quoting 
def Bias = if upBias > dnBias1 and upBias[1] <= dnBias[1] then upBias else if upBias < dnBias1 and upBias[1] >= dnBias[1] then dnBias else 0;

simple!
