Do only once

[fish7]

I have the following code written that is supposed to use the boolean variable (bInit) to do some things only once, each time the EFS starts up.
However, when I run this, the EFS never executes the "if (bInit == false)" routine. If it did, then it would post the messsage "Initialization Done" to the Alert window.

Can someone please help me figure out what I have wrong here, and why this "if (bInit == false)" routine never executes?

Thnx

var bInit = false;

function preMain() {
setPriceStudy(false);
bInit = false;
}

function main() {

if(bInit == false) { // Only do this loop the very first time this is ever loaded.
bInit = true;
Alert.addToList("X", "Initialization Done", Color.red, Color.green );
}


Alert.addToList("Z", "tick", Color.black, Color.black );


return;

}

Your initialization routine is working fine. You can verify this by adding a debugPrintln(bInit) statement before and after setting bInit to true in the routine
The reason the alert is not triggered inside the initialization routine is because the alerts are triggered only on bar index 0

Thnx for the sanity-check, Alex.

That makes sense.
