A boolean!

[Stanfillirenfro]

Hello!
I have an issue with the Boolean.
I have the following code:

if((High[0] >= EMA(7)[0]) || (High[1] >= EMA(7)[0])) (Line1)
{ if(Close[0] < EMA(7)[0]) (Line2)
DrawArrow()}}

If we have one condition of the Line1 filled, one arrow will be drawn. If both conditions of Line1 are filled, two arrows will be drawn.
Here I want to have ONLY THE FIRST arrow drawn when both conditions of the Line1 are filled and not two arrows.
Later on, still in the downtrend, we have similar situation and two arrows are drawn. Here again, I want ONLY the first arrow.
I have tried to control these conditions with a boolean, but I am failing to fix it. I have the following code:

private bool flagUp = false;
if((High[0] >= EMA(7)[0]) || (High[1] >= EMA(7)[0]) && !flagUp) (Line1)
{ if(Close[0] < EMA(7)[0]) (Line2)
DrawArrow();
flagUp = true;}
else flagUp =false;}

I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance!

First, reset the bool.:

if(IsFirstTickOfBar)
flagUp = false;

Then do the test like this if all conditions need to be met:

if(flagUp == false && High[0] >= EMA(7)[0] && High[1] >= EMA(7)[0] && Close[0] < EMA(7)[0])
{
DrawArrow();
flagUp = true;
}

Many thanks eDanny for your reply.

The idea of reseting the bool is nice.
But the test as you have suggested is not really what I wanted because in the case with "&&", all conditions have to be met. I just want one condition to be met, but since I do not know if it is at first occurence or later, that makes me difficult to solve the problem.

Any idea?

Thanks for your help!

I see the issue. You need to only reset the flag each bar, not after each test. You reset your bool to false the next tick after it is set to true and you drew the arrow. Then it will draw again, set to true again, next tick set to false, etc.

Try this:

if(IsFirstTickOfBar)
flagUp = false;

if(!flagUp && (High[0] >= EMA(7)[0] || High[1] >= EMA(7)[0]))
{
if(Close[0] < EMA(7)[0])
{
DrawArrow();
flagUp = true;
}
}

Sorry Danny for the delay in my response.

Thanks a lot. It is working.
Many thanks!
