NOT

Category: Operators

The NOT operator is a logical operator used in the ProBuilder programming language to invert the boolean value of a condition. It is primarily used in conditional statements to execute code based on the negation of a specified condition.

Syntax:

NOT (condition)

Example:

result = 0
FOR i = 0 TO 20 DO
    a = Close[i + 10]
    b = Close[i]
    IF NOT (a > b) THEN
        result = 1
    ENDIF
NEXT
RETURN result

In this example, the NOT operator is used within an IF statement to check if the closing price 10 periods ahead (a) is not greater than the current closing price (b). If this condition is true (meaning a is not greater than b), the variable result is set to 1.

  • The NOT operator helps in creating more complex logical conditions by negating simple conditions.
  • It is useful in scenarios where you want to execute a block of code only when a specific condition does not hold true.

Understanding the use of the NOT operator is fundamental for controlling the flow of decisions in trading algorithms and other applications developed using ProBuilder.
