Programming multiple settings in an EA

Hey

I am in the process of writing a new EA, in which i going to have different choices on entry and closing of orders. Giving the user more flexibility.

Now to the question:

How do i best program multiple choices, i was thinking of making the variations bool type true or false

Example:

UseFixedTP = false;
(Code here)

UseTrailStop = false;
(Code here)

UsePivotPointR1 = true;
(Code here)

And making the choices external variables

Is this a viable way, or is this crap and i need to read the book again?? Help is appreciated :-)

Tut

Do you mean using something like that, or did I get you wrong?

... define external variables so user may choose whether he needs these or not ...

... and then define behavior in the body ....
As a result here if UseFixedTP=true, then TP=40.
And if UseFixedTP=false, then TP=0.

Yes this is what i meant.

if (UseFixedTP)
{
TP = 40;
}
else
{
TP = 0;
}

if (UseTrailStop)
{
TP= /trail stop equation/ ;
}
else
{
TP= 0;
}



Thank you for your reply, it coonfirmed my thoughts.
