Capturing a Momentary Value Just Once

VenkateshV

@HowUTrade
I Have a situation where my Buy/sell Level values are populated when certain combination of conditions are met (but very dynamic in nature)....my function output will be the Buy/Sell levels when condition is met else it will return 0...
e.g.......initially it will be 0 --> when Cond met then 385.3 --> and stays at 385.3 as long as the condition is met and if any chances one of the condition go wrong my udf function output value will be 0

Here i want to capture this first value 385.3 and lock it as my fixed trigger levels, with get captured value method, i could capture when my function returns value greater than zero, and it works, however when the dynamic condition goes off and when my function returns 0 again, my get captured value again goes back to zero. due to which my Buy sell trigger not working on my strategy.

Is there a way to capture a non-zero value (i.e. 385.3) once and able to lock the value in a particular cell?

You can use the GetCapturedPrice of Bridge class for the same.
Once the value is captured, even if the input is zero, it will return the captured price only.

if you are using it in excel, then you can simply select the cell and

cells(row,column).formula = cells(row,column).value

That will freeze the value and you can capture.

In case you want to revert back to the formula, you can save it in a variable and apply formula to save when you are done.
