How to make an EFS Study ignore displayed bars

[radix]

Hi,

I was wondering if there was some way to have a study be applied to incoming bars only, and ignore the bars that are already on the chart. I am trying to write an alert that looks for certain price criteria and goes off -- however, I only care about whether future bars satisfy this criteria.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jake.

Keep in mind that alerts are triggered only on the current bar and not on historical bars.
That said you can prevent an efs from executing on historical bars by adding the following line of code at the beginning of the main() function
if(getCurrentBarIndex()<0) return;
Hope this helps
