IF

Hello Nicolas, please could you explain the difference between the codes:

if a and b and c and d then
result=1
else
result=-1
endif

and with the concatenated conditions:

if a then
if b then
if c then
if d then
result=1
else
result=-1
endif
endif
endif
endif

thanks so much
Max

thanx Nicolas, so in the second exampe, always only the last variable of the series must be false to get a result=-1? and to get a result=+1?

I ask you because I get confused with the example of the guide and with your video tutorial (with the supertrend and the channel of the moving average):
(sorry but i can’t add the PRT code, it doesn’t work).

if (average[12](close)-average[20](close)>0) then
if exponentialaverage[12](close)-exponentialaverage[20](close)>0 then
result=+1
else
result=-1
endif
endif
RETURN result

The result +1 i have is when
SMA12-SMA20 >0, EMA12-EMA20>0
SMA12-SMA20 0 ***
SMA12-SMA20 <0 , EMA12-EMA200 , EMA12-EMA20<0
SMA12-SMA20 0 ***
SMA12-SMA20 <0 , EMA12-EMA200), then result=+1 if also the second is true (EMA12-EMA20>0), but that would be equal to write if
first condition AND the second condition are both true.

My message has been messed up, I don’t know why…..my results has been with the following multiple cases:
result +1= SMA12-SMA20>0 and EMA12-EMA20>0; SMA12-SMA200; SMA12-SMA20<0 and EMA12-EMA200 and EMA12-EMA20<0; SMA12-SMA200; SMA12-SMA20<0 and EMA12-EMA20<0;
I hope it will get pubblished as I've written now.
