Is there a term I can insert in a line of code so that the code that follows is ‘ignored’ until the next ‘ignore’ is noted?
Example:
IF barindex – tradeindex = 55 OR POSITIONPERF < – 0.01 ignore OR POSITIONPERF > 0.051 ignore THEN …
I know I can ‘comment out’ the expression but I then have to move the expression to a separate line.
I want to leave the expression in the line of code run Backtest and then remove the ignore terms and run backtest again.
Thanks

I don’t know if this will help, but I use a different approach. I use some switches like this so I don’t have to REMove some of the code. When dealing with several different code you want to switch between I find this very fast to do.
Cheers

sw1=1
if Sw1=1 then
barindex - tradeindex = 55 OR POSITIONPERF < - 0.01
else
barindex - tradeindex = 55 OR POSITIONPERF < - 0.01 OR POSITIONPERF > 0.051
endif
Good Morning @Elsborgtrading @GraHal
In another programming platform I use an instruction ( “Tradedelay = 1”) to indicate that my position must be opened in the next bar / candle / period (according to conditions not fullfiled in the first bar/candle).
What would be the equivalent function in ProRealTime?, in other words i want to verify certain conditions in the next bar/candle and re-assess so my system can open a position either short or long.
Could i use Openminute? or Open-1 ?
Code:
DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False
DEFPARAM FLATBEFORE = 090000
DEFPARAM FLATAFTER = 150000
indicator1 = Average[9](Sthocastic[14](open))
c1 = (indicator1 > indicator1[1])
indicator2 = SAR[0.03,0.02,0.2]
c2 = (indicator2 > indicator2[1])
c1ABS = ABS(indicator1 > indicator2[1])
c2ABS = (indicator2 > indicator2[1])
IF (c1ABS AND c2ABS) THEN
BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ELSIF (C1ABS AND C2ABS)Open-1 THEN
BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF
ENDIF
I thank you ind advance as always for your contributions.
Greetings and good trading
Hi David
I just noticed this, but I’m not clear what you want, sorry?
You say … i want to verify certain conditions in the next bar/candle and re-assess so my system can open a position either short or long … PRT checks / verifies coded conditions at the end of every bar / candle and then takes a Long or Short at the start of the next bar if conditions were fulfilled in the last bar.
Hope above helps?

Another option:
barindex - tradeindex = 55 OR POSITIONPERF < - 0.01 OR POSITIONPERF > 0.051
may become
barindex - tradeindex = 55 OR POSITIONPERF < - 0.01 //OR POSITIONPERF > 0.051
Hi Robert
Yes the option to ‘Comment out code at the end of a line’ came in with Version 10.3 in 2017 (not an option with 10.2).
Thank you for taking time to help.
