[amibroker] Re: Limiting action to only once per bar

["gariki" <chetan_gariki@xxxxxxxxx>]

this seems to be a similar problem to what i am seeing (albeit with alert function itself triggering alerts multiple times). Aron suggested i use something like..

sent = Nz(StaticVarGet("Sent"));
if ( NOT sent)
{
    AlertIf( Buy, "EMAIL", "+1 ES- Go long on System-1 5min", 1, 15);
    StaticVarSet("Sent", 1);
} 

Not sure if it works since i need to test it when i get back home. 

You refer to you using alertif function for something else; so is it not creating multiple alerts for you? what is the format in which you are using it?

When the number changes for a new bar, i want to run a piece of code, let's say a messagebox, or a little external program, but what is happening is once the new bar comes and the number of contracts changes this code keeps on executing 100's of times till the next bar arrives. I have tried setting a boolean variable but no success. I specifically dont want to use the alert function as i am already using it for something else on that bar.
