EDIT: It turns out that MC does not support the "Switch" statement in the code. I have used Switch instead of If..Then to speed up the code in TS, but it looks like MC does not have that capability! Ouch!

Actually, yes it does support switch/case statements.

True.

Perhaps I spoke too soon on supporting Switch statements. I will go back and try some more when I get a chance. In my particular case, I was using the following:
 
Code
Switch Var1
Begin
   Case True: Code...
   Case False: Code...
End;
In TS, it compiles and works fine. In MC, when I try to compile the indicator, I get the cryptic error:
------ Compiled with error(s): ------
Compile error
errLine 0, errColumn 0, errLineEnd 0, errColumnEnd 0
causal study: (Function)

When I change the case statement to If..Then, it compiles and works fine.

Also in the MC help file, there is no Switch statement listed - see picture.

So, does MC not like Switch statements using boolean variables? And why do you think it is not listed in the help file (Case is not there either)?
