How do I branch out of a block of instructions?

[kaywai]

Hi,

I'm referring specifically to the code in red. I would like to instruct the code to do something else when the Buy Setup Count is equal to 9 and at the same time continue to do what it is still doing. Not having much joy with that. Can somebody please help?

Thanks.

Hi Kai, I'm not sure I follow you completely but to monitor for a condition inside a condition, you would add for example set of if { } 's inside it, as they would only be monitoring while the if 'above' it would be evaluating to 'true' thus triggering the logic contained.

Hi Bertrand,

This indicator, in a way, is a counter. If the condition is true, it adds a count and the counts are consecutive. That is the first "IF".

The second "IF" deal with the conditions when it is false and the count is less than 9. All the counts are removed if the final count before the condition is false is less than 9. The removal is sent to a block of code.

The third "IF" deals with conditions when the counts are greater than or equal to 9. As long as the condition is true, it will continue to add a count ad infinitum. What I would also like to add to this third "IF" is when the count is equal to 9, I would like the code to initiate a new count with different conditions WHILE continuing with its existing count.

Hope you can help. Thanks. Bertrand.

You would need to add another 'else if' part then to check with your flip is true and the count == 9, then set for example a bool true which starts another counter in your code.

Hi Bertrand,

Do you mean like this?

Yes correct, as this will only start your new countdown if both rules are 'hitting'.

didn't get the desired result.
