How can to get a result of more than 2 formulas...

[erilein]

there is a big problem... and i dont know what to do... ok i call my formulas and when the trend is upwards then the var is set to 1 and if its downwards then to -1 so now i have thre formulas...
and i dont know how to get a result out of them because i tested it with
the following way:

var u = 0;
var u = new Number(u+VAR1);
var u = new Number(u+VAR2);
var u = new Number(u+VAR3);
if (u >= 2)setBarBgColor(Color.lime);
if (u <= -2)setBarBgColor(Color.red); 

so with this way it counts the returned vars (defined throug calling...)

and i want to reach that every 2nd signal (down or upward) defines the trend.

but there is a big problem if one of the vars is -1 and the other 2 are 1 then in my mind it should go up but the bgcolor is set to withe because 0 + 1 + 1 -1 = 1
so it doesnt work.
please help

IF VAR1, VAR2 AND VAR3 can only be +/- 1, then the possiblitiles are

+1+1+1=3
+1+1-1=1
+1-1+1=1
+1-1-1=-1
-1-1-1=-3
-1+1+1=1
-1+1-1=-1
-1-1+1=-1

so 2 is not an option?

Maybe check to see
if var1+var2=2 or
if var1+var3=2 or
if va2+var3 =2 or....

ok thanks i will test that but there must be a better way.....

The better way is to test the sum to see if the sum is greater than or equal to +/-1, this means at least two of them are in the same direction
