Enter only once per indicator swing line

[ehidri89]

A strategy I’m trying to develop involves price crossing the swing indicator, and entering after that. The problem arises where it might cross 5 times, and if it hits my stop or target it’ll just keep entering. I’ll get 2-4 losses sometimes instead of just one because of this. Is there a way to have it only enter once per new swing line? Thank you

Hello ehidri89,

Use a bool. Require the bool to be false in the condition that triggers the action. Set the bool to true in the action block for the condition along with the action (such as placing an order). Reset the bool back to false when the SwingHighBar or SwingLowBar is 0 (or 1).
