Bool Variable for Stochastics

[bandit]

Hi

I want to know when the stochastics %k has gone below 20 or above 80
when the %k goes below 20, i set a bool variable to true. when the %k reaches 80
i want to set the variable to false. What seems to happen is that the variable is getting reset with every OnBarUpdate. Before i can post an alert to the chart, other criteria must be met. the sto arrives before all the other criteria can be met. How do i ensure that the variable remains true or false while the other criteria are catching up.

I initialize the variable to false. In OnBarUpdate, if (stochastics(7,14,3).K[0] < 20),
lessthan20var = true;

I have also tried CrossBelow / CrossAbove. but variable still gets reset

Welcome to our forums bandit - I would not expect the bool variable to lose it's value once set by your code - could it be that the value goes through a full true / false cycle on the stochastic conditions alone wihout triggering your further signal validation code?
