´*´ - constant expected

[David Buckley]

does any one know why i am getting this error and how to fix it, this is the line,

extern int    ProfitTarget         = (AccountEquity()*1.01);

extern int needs to be a constant.

so copy the initial constant parameter to a new variable and then assign the product of the calculation to the copy.

maybe like this :)

double init_target=(AccountEquity()*1.01);
input double ProfitTarget=init_target;

oops.. still get error :(

'init_target' - constant expected

[Yohana Parmi]

it should be like this :

input double init_target=1.01;
double ProfitTarget=AccountEquity()*init_target;

double ProfitTarget=AccountEquity()*init_target;

Only assign constants to global/static variables. The fact that the above code actually compiles doesn't make it correct.

AccountEquity, changes over time but your variable never does. Assign it in OnTick
