Hi,
  I am new to MDK and this may be a basic query.  I wrote a simple program (which I called from an indicator through DLL) which tells me whether to buy or sell. The inout is a 5-minute data. But once I get a buy/sell signal, it keeps on calling DLL (nearly evry second) unless the indicatoor value changes.

 I just want the value to come once for every change in indicator.

 Is my understanding of metastock's functionalities is wrong or am i using it worngly?

 Will post code if anyine inteested.

Cheers
SY

SY,

MS is a fully-evaluated program; do a search if you don't understand the ramifications of this.  The easiest way to deal with this in your MSX code is to use a newBar trigger code to only signal the entry/exit on a newBar.
