Is there a simple way that I can specify that a certain event should one be used once

[bijan]

I am trying to use the strategy wizard to create an arrow to be placed below a break out candle when the weekly high is broken by a candle. I can do this but then the arrow is placed on many other candles that are also above the weekly high. How can I specify that I want this done once perhaps per each n number of candles so that it cuts down on the clutter or some other ways to reduce the clutter of these arrows? Thank you.

2 choices:

Either use the CrossAbove()/CrossBelow() functions, which will show the cross as a price transition. Alternatively, code it so that only price bars that actually cross the level on that bar are valid. Put in another way, that means that the level is somewhere inside the bar, which codes simply as "barHigh is above level, and barLow is below level".

Both of those can be directly coded by the wizard. Heck, you an even use them with an "OR", so that you are using both conditions.

That is the definition of "broken by", the phrase that you used. OTOH, what you coded is "price is above the line".
