Question regarding Crossed function

Hi Coders Guru,

Thank you very much for your lessons! I'm still learning mq4 and look forward to reading more of your tutorials.

I was following along the My_First_EA.mq4 code and have a question about the Crossed() function.

The first time the Crossed() function is called, current_direction != last_direction will always be TRUE, because upon the first call:

static int last_direction = 0; and current_direction is immediately assigned 1 or 2.

How about testing to see if last_direction = 0, which would make sure of Return(0) upon the first call of Crossed(). (see below)

Thank you again,

Bachy20

int Crossed (double line1 , double line2)

{

static int last_direction = 0;

static int current_direction = 0;

if(line1>line2)current_direction = 1; //up

if(line1<line2)current_direction = 2; //down

//current direction will always be different from

//last direction, upon first use of this function

if(current_direction != last_direction) //changed

{

if (last_direction == 0) //return(0) upon first use of this function

{

last_direction = current_direction;

return (0);

}

else

{

last_direction = current_direction;

return (last_direction);

}

}

else

{

return (0);

}

}
