How to compare strings?
I'm trying to do the following:
//decide for which currencies if we are trending or not
if( (Symbol() == "USDCHF") || (Symbol() == "USDCHFm") )
{
//do something specific for this currency
}
else if( (Symbol() == "USDJPY") || (Symbol() == "USDJPYm") )
{
//do something specific for this currency
}
else if( (Symbol() == "GBPUSD") || (Symbol() == "GBPUSDm") )
{
//do something specific for this currency
}
else if ( (Symbol() == "EURUSD") || (Symbol() == "EURUSDm") )
{
//do something specific for this currency
}
else
{
//set some default variables
}
I am having a problem comparing the strings like "EURUSD" to what Symbol() returns, I think my if statements are comparing numerical values.
Is there a way to compare strings? or is there another way to determine which currency pair you are in?
Thanks!
Works for me a OK as is.
