Indicator needs to give a signal once instead of all the time.

[Inter20]

Hi,

Lets introduce the problem
I have a WMA(5) indicator that gives a background color signal when the slope is above 0.01 (green) and below -0.01 (red) See picture
I only want to give me a signal once instead of 100% of the time, because the Marker analyser needs to show me the signal only once.
I tried to find the (if) option in the strategy panel CrossOver or CrossBelow, but that is not present when using Slope

Any suggestions?

Regards

Hello Bas,

Thank you for your post.

To check once for the condition you can use one of the User Variables. You can set a condition in addition to your Slope condition, that the Variable must equal 0 and then when the condition is true set that Variable to 1 so the next run it will not be true.

Please refer to the attached screenshot for an example.
