ENDIF is a crucial keyword in the ProBuilder programming language, used to mark the end of a conditional block initiated by an IF statement. This keyword helps in defining the boundaries of conditional logic, ensuring that the code executes correctly based on the specified conditions.

Syntax:

IF (condition) THEN
    [statements]
ELSE
    [statements]
ENDIF

Example:

a = average[10](close)
b = exponentialaverage[20](close)
IF (a > b) THEN
    result = 1
ELSE
    result = -1
ENDIF
RETURN result as "direction"

In this example, the program calculates two different types of moving averages for the closing prices: a simple moving average over the last 10 periods and an exponential moving average over the last 20 periods. It then compares these two averages. If the simple average is greater than the exponential average, it sets the result variable to 1; otherwise, it sets the result to -1. The ENDIF keyword marks the end of the conditional logic, ensuring that the result variable is only set based on the comparison of the two averages.

Additional Information:

• The ENDIF keyword must always follow the closing of an IF block, which may optionally include an ELSE section.
• It is essential to maintain proper indentation and structure in the code to enhance readability and prevent logical errors.

Understanding the use of ENDIF is fundamental for controlling the flow of execution in scripts written in ProBuilder, especially when multiple conditions and decision-making processes are involved.
