How EA can read my ENUM choice?

New comment
 

Hy,

how is it possible for my Ea to read my Enum-Choice?

enum selectChoice
  {
   Banan=0,     // lolol
   Apple=1,     // lala
  };
input selectChoice WhatIlikeMost=Apple;

//later in EA..

if(WhatIlikeMost==Apple) //Do my stuff...;

// Thats how i did it, and it doesnt work...Do You know better?
 
Do not assign numerical values into the custom enum.

That has nothing to do with it! You can assign numerical values or not!

Your sample code will not even compile because of the extra comma after the "Apple=1", so show your real code:

enum selectChoice
  {
   Banan=0,     // lolol
   Apple=1,     // lala
  };
input selectChoice WhatIlikeMost=Apple;

//later in EA..

if(WhatIlikeMost==Apple) //Do my stuff...;

// Thats how i did it, and it doesnt work...Do You know better?

  {

   oWCorePlatzhalter,     // only profitable Trades

   oLCorePlatzhalter,     // only nonprofitable Trades

input SelectBreakevenCorePlatzhalter BreakevenCorePlatzhalter=LnWCorePlatzhalter; // which Trades to Trail?



      if(StartProfit77CorePlatzhalterBuy>RAM_Order77_CorePlatzhalter_Buy&&                                BreakevenCorePlatzhalter==oWCorePlatzhalter) 

      {RAM_Order77_CorePlatzhalter_Buy=KeinBuyStopLoss;}

Did you even try to compile that? It will give compile errors! You did not even bother to fix it first - as I said, the extra comma:

enum SelectBreakevenCorePlatzhalter
  {
   LnWCorePlatzhalter,    // profitable&nonprofitable Trades
   oWCorePlatzhalter,     // only profitable Trades
   oLCorePlatzhalter,     // only nonprofitable Trades
  };

enum SelectHowToCorePlatzhalter
  {
   VnHCorePlatzhalter,    // Virtual&Hard Stoplosses
   oVCorePlatzhalter,     // only Virtual Stoploss 
   oHCorePlatzhalter,     // only Hard Stoploss
  };

Thank You very much for the hint with the comma, there must be still another mistake...

enum SelectHowToCorePlatzhalter

   VnHCorePlatzhalter=0,

   oHCorePlatzhalter=2

input  SelectHowToCorePlatzhalter HowToCorePlatzhalter=VnHCorePlatzhalter;

if(HowToCorePlatzhalter==(VnHCorePlatzhalter||oVCorePlatzhalter))
{}

Problem1 above, Problem2 below, it compiles, but doent work charmingly..

i fixed it afterwards, but wanted to response as fast as possible..sorry

"||" is a Boolean operator so it should be used as follows:

if( ( HowToCorePlatzhalter == VnHCorePlatzhalter ) || ( HowToCorePlatzhalter == oVCorePlatzhalter ) )

As for part 2, if you set the default to "LnWCorePlatzhalter" then obviously the two tests will give false and will never be used!

Consider using a switch statement instead of multiple if statements.
