Used in combination with End to group instructions for conditional execution; a Begin must always be followed by an End.
Usage
CS Begin
I1;
I2;
I3;
End;
Where:
- CS - conditional statement.
- I - conditional instructions.
Notes
- Begin and End can be used with Then, Else, For, and While conditional statements.
- Begin should not be followed by a semicolon (;), code lines within an instruction group should end with a semicolon (;), and only the last instance of End within the same conditional execution statement should be followed by a semicolon (;).
Example
If UpTrend is true then buy, otherwise sell short:
If UpTrend = True Then Begin
Buy Next Bar Market;
End
Else Begin
SellShort Next Bar Market;
End;
