HI I´m trying code a function that has some switches so that I can finde the best filter.
Am I right that is a Boolean type?
I can´t get it to work, some one that knows what I´m missing here?

Input: Filter (numeric);

Switch ( Filter )
Begin
Case 0: xFilter= True;
Case 1: xFilter= Close < Average(Close, 5);
Case 2: xFilter= ADX(5) > 25;
Case 3: xFilter= (Volume > Average(Volume, 5));
End;

xFilter = True;

You are mixing variable types; Try this:

Input: Filter (numeric); // values = 0, 1 , 2, 3, ...
Vars: xFilter(False);

Switch ( Filter )
Begin
Case 0: xFilter= True;
Case 1: xFilter= Close < Average(Close, 5);
Case 2: xFilter= ADX(5) > 25;
Case 3: xFilter= (Volume > Average(Volume, 5));
End;

Hi Bob

Vars: xFilter(False);
I keep getting: A value was never assigned to user funtion

Do I not need a return value?
It keeps turnning of the strategy when I´m testing it...

Here is a simple function and strategy that you can test. The function must have a Boolean (True/False) Return Type. You will optimize the strategy with filter values varying from 0 to 3.
I think that this should work. Give it a try.

 

Code

{Function: NexusFi_Test_1} Input: Filter (numeric); Vars: xFilter(False); Switch ( Filter ) Begin Case 0: xFilter= True; Case 1: xFilter= Close < Average(Close, 5); Case 2: xFilter= ADX(5) > 25; Case 3: xFilter= (Volume > Average(Volume, 5)); End; NexusFi_Test_1 = xFilter; {Strategy: Test.NexusFi.1} Input: Filter (1); // values = 0, 1 , 2, 3, ... Vars: MyBoolean(False); MyBoolean = NexusFi_Test_1(Filter); If MyBoolean then Buy next bar at market; If Not MyBoolean then Sell Short next bar at market;
