[amibroker] Re: *HELP NEEDED* Faster "take only 1st signal of the day" code?

thanx for asking this question, it solved my problem that I posted 
to the forum. Did not know using CUM() I can determine the barnumber 
where a signal occurs. But it also slowed down my puter :-)
I speeded it up again by only calling CUM() when the condition is 
true.

In your case:

ShortNum = IIf(shortsignal,Cum(ShortSignal),0);
DailyShortNum = IIf(shortnum>0,(ShortNum - ValueWhen
(NewDay,ShortNum)),0);

Maybe this will help?
