Used in combination with End to group instructions for conditional execution; a Begin must always be followed by an End. 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 (;).

Usage

CS Begin
I1;
I2;
I3;
End;

Where: CS - conditional statement

I - conditional instructions

Example

If UpTrend is true then buy, otherwise sell short:

If UpTrend Then Begin
Buy Next Bar Market;
End
Else Begin
SellShort Next Bar Market;
End;
