Hi all,
I am new to coding. Hope someone can help me.
Example below:
if close > open then execute this statement.
if close < open then execute this statement.

Any help is appreciated.

try something like below:
a1:=If((C>O),then_do_this,else_do_that);
a2:=If((C<O),then_do_this,else_do_that);
a3:=If((C=O),then_do_this,else_do_that);
a1+a2+a3

Hi johnl,
Thank you for your reply.
Actually I was thinking of trying to plot support and resistance line on price chart base on condition of the open and close.
So if close>open, then will use a formula to calculate, and if close<open, then use another formula to calculate, and if close = open, then use another formula to calculate.
The metastock if function consists of if the condition is True, it will print this result else another result.
Problem is I don't know what to put in the third parameter(i.e else) of the if function.
Hope you can help me.
Thank you.

Hi fankc,
Try nesting the "If " function but remember to place an additional right parenthesis for each nested "If " function.
If(C=O,1st formula,If(C>O,2nd formula,3rd formula))
The interpretation being:
If C=O, then execute 1st formula, if C>O ,then execute 2nd formula, otherwise execute 3rd formula (which implies that C<O).
Cheers,
oz
