Re: [amibroker] Problem with Status("actionEx"), AmiBroker Email List Archive

Mmm, I�m not sure what to tell ya. Only TJ can give you a definitive answer. I have an idea why, but I can�t prove it. I like experimenting with AFL� and discovered this one a while ago. So, all I have is results through observation and my acceptance of the results.

I can tell ya to read up on the WriteIf function. It will give you a clue, especially TJ�s comments, and an alternative to your code. You can eliminate the IF statement altogether and use WriteIf along with WriteVal or NumToStr for the conversion.�

WriteIf(Stat == Indicator OR Stat == Commentary OR Stat == aToolTip OR Stat == aInterpret,

WriteVal(Lowbody,
1.3)

, "");

WriteIf(Stat == Indicator OR Stat == Commentary OR Stat == aToolTip OR Stat == aInterpret,

NumToStr(Lowbody,
1.3)

, "");

That works fine!!

I don't like to "look a gift horse in the mouth", but, how did you know?� I've looked through AB Users Guide and Help file and can't find where that might be explained.� If you've got the time, I would sure like to know, to get a better understanding of what I am doing.

Thank you so much.

Use Printf instead of WriteVal.

Thank you for your suggestion.� However, I know I don't need it for just the snippet displayed.

This is from a much larger program where I wish to disable the display in Indicator, Commentary, etc., if/when some other actions are performed.�

When I post a question, rather than post my entire code, I try to break my code down first to just that part that I do not understand, and post it.

So my question remains.

remove the if line altogether, you should not need it

Without the 'if()' restriction below, all of the text and WriteVal(), etc. is displayed in the Interpretation Window as it should be.� However, when include the 'if()' restriction it is no longer visible.� I believe it should still be visible because of the "Stat == aInterpret" inclusion in the 'if()'.� If all plot() statements a within the 'if()' restriction, the charts are drawn as expected.

What's wrong?

Indicator = 1; Commentary = 2; aToolTip = 16; aInterpret = 17; Stat = Status("actionEx"); if(Stat == Indicator OR Stat == Commentary OR Stat == aToolTip OR Stat == aInterpret){ "Lowbody = " + WriteVal(Lowbody, 1.3); "Highbody = " + WriteVal(Highbody, 1.3); "risk = " + WriteVal(risk, 1.3); "ATRcond = " + WriteVal(ATRcond, 1.3); "%risk/Equity = " + WriteVal(100*risk/myE); }

Would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.
