Writeif for crossover

[erukumk]

I am writing a writeif condition (for Cond1), but BreakoutStatus is displaying blank, even when crossover has happened on the chart. Where I'm i making a mistake.

// Testing breakout condition

BreakoutLevel = Study( "BO", 1427 );
Dist = ( Close - BreakoutLevel ) / Close * 100;

//Cond1 = Close >= 0.97 * BreakoutLevel AND Close < BreakoutLevel;
Cond1 = Cross( Close, BreakoutLevel );
//Cond2 = Close >= 0.97 * BreakoutLevel;
//Cond3 = GapUp() AND (Low - Ref( High, -1 ) > 0.75 * ATR( 40 )) AND (Volume > 1.5 * MA( V, 50 )); // Buyable gap ups
//Cond3 = GapUp() ;

// Writing conditions
Breakout = IIf( Cond1, True, False );
//NearBreakout = IIf( Cond2, True, False );
//Both = IIf( Cond1 AND Cond2, True, False );
//BuyableGapUp = IIf( Cond3, True, False );

BreakoutStatus =
	WriteIf( Breakout, "Breakout"," " )  ;                      

Filter = Cond1;
//Filter = Cond1 OR Cond2 OR Cond3;

AddColumn( Close, "Close" );
AddColumn( Study( "BO", 1427 ), "Breakout Level" );
AddTextColumn( BreakoutStatus, "Breakout Type" );
AddColumn( Dist, "Dist %" ); // Distance from breakout in % terms

This might help

WriteIf returns single string, was: Loop string for selection of Expiry

You may get more answers if you follow this advice: How to ask a good question Also check the manual http://www.amibroker.com/f?writeif especially comment section that clearly says: Please note that WriteIf returns just single string representing current SelectedValue of the EXPRESSION So, you can't output different text on bar by bar basis for single symbol. The solution is to use AddMultiTextColumn and it was discussed already: https://forum.amibroker.com/search?q=AddMultiTextColumn Or…

Thanks i was able to use and get it working, but i have another issue now. Cond1 is showing blank when there is no study (Study( "BO", 1427 )) on the chart, if there is a study then the condition is working.

// Testing breakout condition

BreakoutLevel = Study( "BO", 1427 );
Dist = ( Close - BreakoutLevel ) / Close * 100;

Cond1 = GapUp() AND (Low - Ref( High, -1 ) > 0.75 * ATR( 40 )) AND (Volume > 1.5 * MA( V, 50 )); // Buyable gap ups
Cond2 = Cross( Close, BreakoutLevel );
Cond3 = Close >= 0.97 * BreakoutLevel AND Close < BreakoutLevel;

//Cond1 = GapUp() ;

TextList = "NoSignal\nBuyable Gapup\nBreakout\nNear Breakout";
//TextList = "Breakout";
//TextSelector = 1 * Cond2;
TextSelector = 1 * Cond1 +  2 * Cond2 + 3 * Cond3;

Filter = Cond1 OR Cond2 OR Cond3;

AddColumn( Close, "Close" );
AddColumn( Study( "BO", 1427 ), "Breakout Level" );
AddMultiTextColumn( TextSelector, TextList, "Which signal" );
AddColumn( Dist, "Dist %" ); // Distance from breakout in % terms

Cond1 is showing blank when there is no study (Study( "BO", 1427 )) on the chart

Cond1 has nothing to do with BreakoutLevel = Study( "BO", 1427 );

Wrap Cond2 within 'Nz()' function.

Cond2 = Nz(Cross( Close, BreakoutLevel ) );

@TrendSurfer

Cond2 = Nz(Cross( Close, BreakoutLevel ) );

Thank you!!! @awilson and @TrendSurfer
