set{High%, 150}
set{Low%, 140}
and close is between Low% and High%

If I do and close is between 140 and 150 that's fine

Fetcher[
set{ H1, 150 }
set{ L1, 140 }

CLOSE BELOW H1
CLOSE ABOVE L1
]



Rule of thumb:

DON'T USE SPECIAL CHARACTERS OR RESERVED WORDS IN VARIABLE NAMES.

But I don't think that is the real problem. SF seems to have problems SOMETIMES when you assign numbers in SET statements.

Well, call it a fuzzy logic. It's my understanding that you can't assign a string value when using the "between" modifier. Geez, talk about no strings attached.

I have noticed the same problem when using numbers in set statements ... best to avoid them.

You mean you can't use a variable, right?

Any non-numeric value, including a variable from predefined set, can be considered as a string.

This will work:
price is between 140 and 150

This will NOT work:
price is between MA(20) and MA(50)
