Flags

[timmyhanke]

When using flags to trigger a condition , do you have to make one contition for true and the opposite of that to false or does the check flag understand that the opposite condition of the true one is false by itself , or does it stay on true forever ?

it stay with value as you set it until next change
... or can you post specific example with few blocks what exactly you mean?

Made 2 examples , just simple and not how i use them.
So does example 1 work exactly as example 2 or is number 2 the true one ?

[miro1360]

second example is right, you need change these flags when validity of condition ends ...
and here is third example (with one flag name)

So how to switch a flag "set flag" that passed, from true, to false ? Sorry if it's old, didn't found any response

I use flags alot , made a filter session of about 200 blocks that triggered flags based on trade count.

If you want your flags to have a trigger point on true then set all the set flag names on init to false , so the first thing the ea does when started is to set them to false ( just to make sure )

There is a multitude of ways of doing it hope you find one that fits you :

Condition or conditions that are specific to trade buy / filter buy are true , set flag buy to true , if not set buy to false.

Condition or conditions that are specific to trade buy / filter buy are true, set flag true , stay true until sell contiontions are true , if sell contions are true set buy flag to false and sell to true .

It's a question of when and were you want to change your flag from true to false when its triggered , can be anywere , tick based , conditions based or time based , its up to you my firend
