How to achieve a negative result

[arbuthnot]

Hi - I have a set of conditions, which, if they are valid, should result in the strategy taking NO action - and cancel any other conditional results should they be valid.

The Wizard is of course set up to achieve positive results, so I would guess that some special coding would be needed to achieve a negative.

Could you kindly tell me how to proceed with this.

Much obliged.

Hello arbuthnot,

You could look into this sample for halting your strategy after defined conditions have taken place.

"Do nothing" is what the strategy would do if there were no conditionals so you have to provide it something to do.

Thanks very much, Ryan. I've looked at the strategies and the chances are they contain the commands I would need. Just looking thru them has greatly helped my coding skills - which are still quite primitive!

Your help is much appreciated.
