Logical Operator OR ( || )

[peterjerome]

little confused on correct usage of (OR) operator.

trying to make following test:

if (today's close = yesterday's close OR
today's close -1 = yesterday's close)....continue code

if (close() = close(-1) || close()-1 = close(-1))
generates formula error

what am i missing?

[dloomis]

if (close() == close(-1) || close()-1 == close(-1))

is the correct syntax

How many OR conditions can be put into a single statement?
Would this example be correct?
If (condition A) || (condition B) || (condition C) || etc.

I am not aware of a limitation in the number of conditions you can OR
As to your example it is not correct and should be
if (condition A || condition B || condition C || etc)
