RE: [amibroker] Re: using LastValue() vs. [BarCount-1] (was using say("text") (AmiBroker 4.89.0 BETA released ))

["J. Biran" <jbiran@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am always reluctant of using LastValue() as I recall it slows things
down by forcing loading all bars. 
I use  Myvariable[BarCount-1] instead.
 
1. Is there anything wrong with that?
 
2. Does EndValue() suffer from same drawback as LastValue() (when no
range is selected)?

I would rather suggest using LastValue, instead of EndValue because
EndValue depends on Range markers
that may or may not point to the last bar.

Why Herman ? Say() works fine for me. Next a simple MA crossing
system. Use 'Bar Replay' to walk thru the time array and you'l' get
your 'Buys' and 'Sell' ...
 
LongMA    = EMA( C, Param("Long Period", 50, 30, 100, 5 )); 
ShortMA   = EMA( C, Param("Short Period", 5, 3, 50, 1 )); 
Buy       = Cross( ShortMA, LongMA ); 
Sell      = Cross( LongMA, ShortMA ); 
if (EndValue(Buy)==1) Say("Buy"); 
if (EndValue(Sell)==1) Say("Sell");

You need to store any text to ouput in a staticvar and clear this
variable after you output it, below is just one way of doing this.
This will only Say() text when is has changed. You may have to change
this when you need repetative messages, like pyramided trades that say
Buy, Buy, Buy, ...
 
 
Text = ParamStr("Enter text to synthesize","Test");
PrevText = StaticVarGetText("PrevText");

if
( Text != PrevText ) 
{
Say( Text ); 
StaticVarSetText
("PrevText", text); 
}

  
best regards,
herman

Thanks, I may be misunderstanding Flip but my guess is it should be
the opposite,
something like ExRem() to only sound message once on the first
occurrence. 
but I am not even sure what to include in that statement as arrays. 
 
    if condition say("my message");
 
I would like to be said only once (the first time condition is true)
and only on the last bar
(which I will take care of after I figure out how to restrict this
event).

I haven't done this yet, but Flip function should work.

How does one use the say("text") function such that it is only
stated once and does not repeat even if the condition that 
it depends on continues to be true?
