Syntax Error From Back Testin

[HarryBedi]

Hi Guys,

I keep getting the following error in my back testing.

Line 28 SyntaxError: Missing ; before statement : var vMACD12_26.getValue (MACDStudy.SIGNAL);

I have included the part of the code to which it is reffering to.

26 function main(nProfitAmt, nStopAmt){
27 ProfitTarget1 = nProfitAmt;
28 var vMACD12_26.getValue (MACDStudy.SIGNAL);
29 var vMACD12_26.getValue (MACDStudy.MACD);
30 var vRSI14.getValue (vRSIStudy.RSI);
31 var vEMA40.getValue (MAStudy.MA);
32 var vEMA12.getValue (MAStudy.MA);
33 var vEMA26.getValue (MAStudy.MA);
34 if (Strategy.isInTrade()==true && (nNewTrade == 1)){
35 nNewTrade = 0;
36 }

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Harry

You are missing the name of the variable to which you will assign the value. For example
var myVar = vMACD12_26.getValue(MACDStudy.SIGNAL);
The same error is present in the other lines you are showing

Hi Alex

So would this code make more sense?

var study1 = new MACDStudy(12, 26, 9, "Close", false, false);
var study2 = new RSIStudy (14, "Close");
var study3 = new MAStudy (40, 0, "Close", MAStudy.EXPONENTIAL);
var study4 = new MAStudy (12, 0, "Close", MAStudy.EXPONENTIAL);
var study5 = new MAStudy (26, 0, "Close", MAStudy.EXPONENTIAL);

function preMain(){
setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("TradingModel1");
var fp1 = new FunctionParameter("nProfitAmt", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
fp1.setName ("Profit Target Amount");
fp1.setLowerLimit (0.01);
fp1.setDefault(5)

var fp2 = new FunctionParameters("nStopAmt", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);//Stop Features
fp2.setName("Stop Target Amount");
fp2.setLowerLimit(0.01);
fp2.setDefault(3);
}
function main(nProfitAmt, nStopAmt){
ProfitTarget1 = nProfitAmt;
var vMACD = study1.getValue (MACDStudy.SIGNAL);
var vMACD = study1.getValue (MACDStudy.MACD);
var vRSI = study2.getValue (vRSIStudy.RSI);
var vEMA = study3.getValue (MAStudy.MA);
var vEMA = study4.getValue (MAStudy.MA);
var vEMA = study5.getValue (MAStudy.MA);
if (Strategy.isInTrade()==true && (nNewTrade == 1)){
nNewTrade = 0;
}

Cheers

Not really. You are assigning different values to the same variables.
You should have something more like the following
var vMACDSig = study1.getValue (MACDStudy.SIGNAL);
var vMACD = study1.getValue (MACDStudy.MACD);
etc
