Bars Since condition

[BurtOD]

I used the indicator wizard and inserted the code below to calculate the bars since CCI>100 but I get error messages indicating I should have semi colons ";" where I have "-" minus signs to subtaract one value from another. The editor also flagged the leading left bracket after "If". Can you suggest how I can correct this and get the code to compile?
protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
{
double BarsSince = 0;
double TriggerBar = 0;
}
If ((WoodiesCCI(14,6) > 100) = true & BarsSince =0);
{ TriggerBar = CurrentBar – 1;
BarsSince = CurrentBar – TriggerBar;
}
Else If (WoodiesCCI(14,6) > 100 = true & BarsSince != 0);
{
BarsSince = CurrentBar – TriggerBar;
}
Else If (WoodiesCCI(14,6) > 100 != true);
{
BarsSince = 0;
TriggerBar = 0;
}
Plot0.Set(BarsSince [0]);

BurtOD, please give this snippet a try -

 
int BarsSince = 0;
int TriggerBar = 0;

if (CCI(14)[0] > 100 && BarsSince == 0)
{ 
TriggerBar = CurrentBar - 1;
BarsSince = CurrentBar - TriggerBar;
}

else if (CCI(14)[0] > 100 && BarsSince != 0)
BarsSince = CurrentBar - TriggerBar;

else if (CCI(14)[0] > 100 != true)
{
BarsSince = 0;
TriggerBar = 0;
}

In addition I would suggest you review those tutorials for getting more into the basic NinjaScript syntax and notation -

The code compiles now and works fine but something is wrong with my design/logic. The term TriggerBar, which is supposed to stay constant after meeting the condition, continues to update so I get a constant value for BarsSince instead of an increasing value. How do I get the TriggerBar to stay constant once the condition is met until the condition changes?
if (CCI(14)[0] > 100 && BarsSince == 0)

BurtOD, if your condition is still true, the 'trigger bar' would still update of course. Have you tried a CrossOver one instead of checking for the CCI being greater than 100?
