      I saw in the November update post that some bars were removed. Why was "Every n bars" removed? This was useful.

        Maybe this one was not for removing because there is no "Once per barS". My mistake, I will show it again, but in future I will probably replace it with something like "Once per bars".

          Hi, can you please also add a block that executes "n time every bar", ex. 2 times every bar? Or maybe I could do this by attaching a counter after "once per bar" block?

            From a long time ago I wonder what name to give to these blocks that starts with "Once..." if I just add some simple option to make them able to work not only once, but more than once. But "Once per bar", "Once a day" and others sounds so clear now, how to ruin those names.

            From your opinion, will it be better if I add option inside and rename them to something else that is not "Once"? And what word to use instead "Once"? đŸ™‚

            Otherwise if you connect second "Once" block to the yellow output of the first one, it will work for this idea.

              I think the "Once"-off blocks are good to keep or at least as the default number of passes because people will mostly use them. But occasionally you need the multiple option so, in my opinion, you could either:

              A)
              Create the "N times per" blocks and put them in the list under the "Once" options as they appear like this:
              Once per bar
              N times per bar
              Once per day
              N times per day
              etc.

              B) add the "N times per" functionality to the existing "Once" blocks and revise the titles like this:
              Once (or N times) per bar
              Once (or N times) per day
              etc.

              Once/N times per bar
              Once/N times per day
              etc.

              I would probably go for option B) with the second naming convention "Once/N times" and set the number to 1 as default đŸ™‚
