RE: [amibroker] FOREIGN function??

If the conditions are identical for both parts of the IF statement, then
defining them first is fine. If the condition is dependent on "URUSD"
you still need the foreign statement to be sure that is the symbol you
are using. This is because you don't have a "selected" symbol so you
must specify the symbol with foreign (or SetForeign).

G'day all,

I do have a query. When declaring buy/sell/short/cover conditions that 
will form part of the buy/sell/short/cover statements, is it correct to 
simply declare these conditions BEFORE the IF statement or must they be 
declared with both sets of trading rules?

EG:

*** DO CONDITIONS GO HERE?? (A) ***
Buycondition  = ....
Sellcondition = ....
ShortCondition = ....
CoverCondition = ....

if( Name() == "EURUSD" )
{
     // your trading rules for EURUSD

     *** OR HERE (B) ****	
     Buycondition = ...
     Sellcondition = ....

     Buy = Buycondition AND ..
     Sell = ....	

}
else
{
     SetForeign("EURUSD");

     // here your trading rules for OTHER pair
     // based on signals generated from EURUSD (hence SetForeign)

     *** AND HERE??? (B) ***
     Shortcondition = ....
     Covercondition = ....

     Short = Shortcondition AND ...
     Cover = ....

     RestorePriceArrays();
}

I hope I've articulated this properly because I get varying results 
depending on where the test condtions are placed.

Thanks,
Andrew.
