Hi there,

I want to write a buy condition that is triggered not only by certain indicators but also when the date of the conditions are first true. I would not want to be shown an initial buy signal multiple days later.

Thanks

So only the first time ever in the entire history of the stock? If this is not what you mean, what resets things it can be the "first" time again?

Thanks for the qs.

Here's an example of what I'm trying to figure out:

I see the signal on day 1. It's true day 2 and day 3. But then the signal stops days 4-9. The signal occurs again day 10-15. 

I want to create a condition where I only identify the first day of the signal [so days 1 + 10]. The other days should be excluded.

Let's say you have a condition called My Condition and you want it to only return true if it is true now but not true during the previous bar.

'# MC = chartCondition.MyCondition
If MC.Value = True AndAlso MC.Value(1) = False Then
	Pass
End If
