Don't get MathAbs to work.

[RLE]

Hello, Anyone out there who can help me with MathAbs,

I'm using a = MathAbs (a) ;

All I get with compiling is "some operator expected"

       trigger_hedge = ( OrderClosePrice() - OrderOpenPrice() )

       trigger_hedge=MathAbs(trigger_hedge); 



I've tried:

int trigger_hedge = 0 ;

double trigger_hedge = 0;

trigger_hedge = (int) (OrderClosePrice () - OrderOpenPrice () )

Thanks in advance for your help and support,

If this is the same code you used, there is a missing semicolon (;) 

[William Roeder]

trigger_hedge = ( OrderClosePrice() - OrderOpenPrice() ) trigger_hedge=MathAbs(trigger_hedge); 

What do you think this line means?

Dear William,

Thanks for the quick reply, you're amazing.

I feel very silly that I didn't see the missing semicolon !

Thanks again for the solution,
