Hi Members,

Need a hand here. I'm developing the ultimate indicator and have a question. I generate multiple buy signals based on moving average crossovers and stochastics movements. One of these invariably triggers first, and the other ones fire a bit later. This results in a very busy chart which is hard to follow. I want to set some kind of global flag that is set when a long is entered so the other indicators do not display. I see there is a fmlvar() function but it's a read only way to get values.

Thanks for the help -

Garp

Garp,

Do a search of the forum for "latches".

There are several methods, some use the MS formula language, some use external functions. Have a look in the downloads section for an article by Roy Larsen on using latches in MS.


Hope this helps.

Here is latch from this forum:
a1:= Fml("a");
a2:= Fml("b");
i:=Cum(a1+a2>-1)=1; {initialixation - inputs are valid}
x:=BarsSince(i OR a1)<BarsSince(i OR a2); {latch}
x:=Alert(x,2) AND a2; {first a2 after a1}
x;
I loose the "i" variable and it works fine.
Is that Larry Williams Ult.Osc. or your own?
