can anyone see why this always returns false     regardless of ObservedType??

<cfset isNullfwdExtraWindow = false>

    <cfif arguments.trade.ObservedType eq 'C'>

        isNullfwdExtraWindow = true>

    </cfif>

    <cfif arguments.trade.ignoreBarrierStyleAndObserved>

        isNullfwdExtraWindow = true>

    </cfif>

    This code misses the cfset tag. You could try something like

    <cfset isNullfwdExtraWindow = false>

    <cfif trim(arguments.trade.ObservedType) eq 'c' OR arguments.trade.ignoreBarrierStyleAndObserved>

         <cfset isNullfwdExtraWindow = true>

    </cfif>

    When in doubt, look at your data.  My technique is:

    if (something)

    output yes

    else

    output no and whatever I was checking.

    By the way, what is this checking - <cfif arguments.trade.ignoreBarrierStyleAndObserved>  ?  Is that a boolean variable?
