Is it as simple as putting quotations around Bullish. Your simple advice is appreciated.

hi Dave if you are intending to use strings then OsmaDirection will also be a string .

string Bullish;
string Bearish;
string OsMADirection = "";
double OSMAPREVIOUS,OSMAPREVIOUS2;

-- your code.....


now you could say
if (OsMA Previous > OsMAPrevious 2) OsMADirection = Bullish;
else if(OSMA Previous < OsmaPrevious2) OsMADirection = Bearish;


Keep in mind OsMADirection is a string which means you can only use it with other string variables there are other ways to convert between variables but i think you are not asking for that.
