Post From: I need to switch between alert-based buy and sell entries as market conditions change.

The only way I can think of is by deleting one entry from the studies list and adding the other. That isn't going to work for short-period day trading.

The problem is that I can't just include entry conditions like "C > EMA." My criteria are too close to "I know it when I see it." Is there any way to toggle manually between taking long or short entries? (Maybe it's worth noting that the last time I wrote even a simple filter, Windows hadn't been born.)

Some variations might be possible to write with an equivalent of the "BarsSince" function in some other programs. The result would be something like "C > C[last time these conditions were true.]" Or "C > C[last time the opposite conditions were true]." Can't imagine it would be usable in an alert-based technique, even if it existed. Or that I could code it from scratch in ACSIL.

Many thanks for any help.
