Alert only once?

[calebsandfort]

I'm trying to fire an alert from a strategy and only want it to run once and not rearm. All I can find is that Alert() takes a rearm seconds parameter, but nothing on if you don't want it to rearm.

Is this possible?

Alert("Testing") set Priority. 0 or 1.

Hello calebsandfort,

Thanks for your post.

You can set the "rearm" time to 0 for a single use Alert.

You can also use a bool that you create and initialize to true and then fire the alert and set the bool to false, for example using a bool called doitonce initialized to true:

if (Your conditions && doitonce)
{
Alert(....);
doitonce = false; // prevent additional alerts
}
