How to ignore Code?

  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.

  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

  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

  1	barindex - tradeindex = 55 OR POSITIONPERF < - 0.01 OR POSITIONPERF > 0.051

  may become

  barindex - tradeindex = 55 OR POSITIONPERF < - 0.01 //OR POSITIONPERF > 0.051

  1	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.
