OR function in indicator don’t work…

  I made a script for finding equal lows on the DAX. I look for differences of 0, 0.5 and 1 points, because the price sometimes deviates slightly.

  Now I have made the script below, so that a line is placed on the graph. The problem is that the script can’t handle searching for 0, 0.5 and 1 simultaneously. I’ve used the function with OR and it doesn’t seem to work. I can of course put the formula in the script again to create three conditions, but it seems to me that there is a smarter way to do it.

  If I enter 1 value in Af1 it works perfectly, but with multiple values using the OR function it doesn’t work.

  Who knows how I can cleverly include this in the script with Af1= 0 OR 0.5 OR 1. What am I overlooking? 🙂

   

  //DAX same lows
  //26-11-22

  Af1 = 0 OR 0.5 OF 1

  //Same lows
  for p = 4 to 100 do
  if ABS(low[1] – low[p]) = Af1 THEN
  x1 = barindex[1]
  y1 = low[1]
  x2 = barindex[p]
  y2 = low[p]
  endif
  next
  DRAWSEGMENT (x1,y1,x2,y2)coloured(255,10,10)
  RETURN

  Hi,

  “or” is for booleans, not for choosing among various numbers.

  You could say you want anything between 0 and 1, with 1 included, by keeping a simple Af1=1 , and by using <= (it means inferior or equal to) this way:

  if ABS(low[1] – low[p]) <= Af1 THEN

  Hi @Robin81

  You can try this one…

   

  DAX Same Lows

  //DAX same lows //26-11-22 Af1 = -0.5 //Same lows While Af1<>1 do Af1 = Af1 + 0.5 for p = 4 to 100 do if ABS(low[1] - low[p]) = Af1 THEN x1 = barindex[1] y1 = low[1] x2 = barindex[p] y2 = low[p] DRAWSEGMENT (x1,y1,x2,y2)coloured(255,10,10) endif next WEnd RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

  //DAX same lows //26-11-22   Af1 = -0.5   //Same lows While Af1<>1 do Af1 = Af1 + 0.5 for p = 4 to 100 do if ABS(low[1] - low[p]) = Af1 THEN x1 = barindex[1] y1 = low[1] x2 = barindex[p] y2 = low[p] DRAWSEGMENT (x1,y1,x2,y2)coloured(255,10,10) endif next WEnd RETURN
