    Hi

    In the above code to enter long positions, I want to use AND and OR e.g.

    // Conditions to enter long positions

IF ((x > y) AND (x > 70)) OR (sslUp > sslDown) THEN
BUY 1 PERPOINT AT MARKET
ENDIF

    Is my above code modification correct? Do I need to put OR onto the next line? Do I need to use ELSIF? Any suggestions please?

    Thanks

    Sachin

    Your conditions seem fine. If they work as you expect then they are fine!

    There’s no need to use ELSIF, I think it’s more readable the way you wrote it.

    I can only suggest that you add “AND LongOnMarket” at line 9:

    IF ((sslUP < sslDown) OR (y > x)) AND LongOnMarket THEN

    and “AND ShortOnMarket” at line 21:

    IF ((sslUP > sslDown) OR (x > y)) AND ShortOnMarket THEN

    but it’s not mandatory.
