Hi guys,

 I have indicator sending notifications.

 I want to limit sending notifications to one or "n" per Period set on chart. 

Do you have any idea how to limit it?

Thanks for help in advance.

angevoyageur: I recommend to all not answer such thing that "use google or use this and you will have found this", it's absolutely not useful. Ignore it.

I guess that you did try a search and that is how you found this old post.

It is relatively simple to do depending on how you want notifications limited by using a globally declared variable initially set to 0.

If you only want 1 notification per signal direction

If a buy signal, send notification and set the variable to 1 

If a sell signal, send notification and set the variable to -1 

When the code wants to send notification, check the value of the variable. If it is 1 don't send notifications for a buy signal.  If it is -1 don't send notifications for a sell signal.

 

If you only want 1 notification per bar, make the variable datetime

When sending the notification save the value of Time[0] in the variable

Only send notifications if Time[0]!=the variable.
