Is there a way to divide a money management event into functions?

I would like to divide my script into a few functions for the sake of simplicity. Is there a way to do this?

My money management script for the OnEndPeriod is already over 100 lines of code and counting. In the interest of clean, readable, error free code the experts from Google programming (who are considered from the best in deciding good programming practices) suggest that functions should rarely go more than 40 lines. More than about 40 lines becomes complex. If some of the best programmers in the business find it simpler then certainly for me it's better.

Thanks.

Best Answer

Sure you can do that.
You can create functions directly in the "Global" event (These functions can be used in any other event) or you can create functions under any other event (in that case, you must precede the functions by #functions# keyword)

Example:
#functions#
public void MyFunction()
{
}
