Stop Print

[emuns]

Hello,

is somehow possible to stop Print when condition is true? My goal is to reduce Print statements.

Thank you.

Hello emuns,

This would be up to the logic your script.

If the condition is true, do not call Print() in the code.

Hello Chelsea,

that´s the problem. I need to use: when condition is true - Print something. But than I need something like: when condition change stop printing or print just x rows etc.
If I understand it correctly, nothing like this can be used, so I have to deal with the situation on condition itself...?

Thank you

Hello emuns,

Right, you would need to deal with this in your logic if you want to stop the print.

As long as you are calling the Print command it will happen. If that should be reduced or not happen you would need to call it less or not at all. You could add variables or other logic to control that better if you want but that is going to be up to your logic.

If you are trying to only see a print when the condition changes or want to control it based on condition changes you might be able to do that using a bool:

private bool printOnce = false;
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    if(CrossAbove(SMA(12), SMA(16), 1))
    {
        printOnce = true;
    }
    else if(CrossBelow(SMA(12), SMA(16), 1))
    {
        printOnce = true;
    }
    if(printOnce == true)
    {
        Print("Print one time because one of the conditions was true");
        printOnce = false;
    }
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.
