use a switch case... for faster performance?

[rvaidyamath]

Hello there

DEF BAR_COLOR_Value = IF squeezeval == 1 THEN -2
else IF squeezeval == 2 THEN -1
else IF squeezeval == 3 THEN 1
else IF squeezeval == 0 THEN 2 else 0 ;


Need help on this script; can we make this using a switch case... for faster performance


Thanks

Honestly, I'm not sure that a switch will make it any faster. It will still need to evaluate the conditions each bar. ToS has never seemed terribly slow at that in my opinion.

If you're using this to color bars, and all you're doing is setting a new variable based on an old one, why go through the exercise at all... you can surely use the squeezeval variable as your colour determiner in the assignValueColor() call. Perhaps? Hard to know without seeing the rest of your code.
