CS0019 Comparison Error

[Jason]

Why does this not work?

if ( (Low[2] < EMA_10) && Close[1] >= PP_S1 && Math.Abs(Close-Open) = Min(2,0, Math.Abs(Close-Open)) )

Incidentally, why can't I do something like this:

if ( (Close[2].Crosses(EMA_10)  && Close[1] >= PP_S1 && Math.Abs(Close-Open) = Min(2,0, Math.Abs(Close-Open)) )

Both fail for me. The idea is to test if the prior candle has a low below the EMA_10 and high above it.

Sorry, forgot the actual error description:

Pos    Code    Description    
75, 10    CS0019    Operator '&&' cannot be applied to operands of type 'bool' and 'double'

I didn't have a chance to plug it in, but at first glance, = is an assignment, not a comparison. you want == there

if ( (Low[2] < EMA_10) && Close[1] >= PP_S1 && Math.Abs(Close-Open) == Min(2,0, Math.Abs(Close-Open)) )

if ( (Close[2].Crosses(EMA_10)  && Close[1] >= PP_S1 && Math.Abs(Close-Open) == Min(2,0, Math.Abs(Close-Open)) )

Doh that did it. It was just flagging the error at the beginning at "(Low[2]" so I thought the problem was there.

 

Thanks

Jason, the problem is the lexical parser we're using does not give the right column for the error sometimes. Correct row though
