How to ignore Code?

GraHal · 2016-08-12T18:34:53+00:00

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 0.051 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 GraHal

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.

```
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.
