Question about EL evaluation of heavy functions.

jek · Postby **jek** » 17 Mar 2009

My understanding is that in order to guarantee proper behavior of indicators that EasyLanguage will call "series" functions at the end of the indicator code if those functions have not been called explicitly as part of the code.

For example, if you have:

Code: Select all


Input: Length(10);

Var:   Flag(1);

Once (CurrentBar = 1) Begin

  Flag = 0;

End;



If Flag = 1 Then Begin

  Plot1(Xaverage(Close, Length));

End;

This will not plot anything but XAverage will be called on every bar.

First, is my understanding correct?

Second, if this is the case, is there any way to choose among several calculation methods in an EL program and not have them all get evaluated?

Or do you have to create a separate indicator for each choice?
