How to print the signal by a code function

[Austiner87]

Hi NT8,

I am looking for a way to print the signal of all entered trades by a code function.

- I realize I could print ("string") when I enter a trade and remove it when I exit
- however, my strategy is having trouble only entering the 'one-time' I want it to for a signal and may enter 2-6 times (as in, I code a signal to enter once based on an indicator, and it enters 5 times on that same signal, even though I am seeking for it to enter one once - and I need to know which signal is causing this)
- looking for a way for the print to list something like the below (assuming my entry signals were numbered sequentially)

Output window:

Account position: 12L Entry Signal Names: "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "5" "5" "5" "5" "5" "6" "7"


- in the example above, If I simply printed a single "string" on the entry if signal "5" as suggested in bullet one, I would be at 12L, but I would not know which signal had multiple entries. it would like like this:
Account position: 12L Entry Signal Names: "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7"

Thank you!

Hi Austiner, thanks for posting. It depends on how your strategy is written. You can use a boolean variable to print something only once and then reset the boolean once the trade finishes.
