Mmm, I'm not sure what to tell ya. Only TJ can give you a
definitive answer. I have an idea why, but I can't prove it.
I like experimenting with AFL and discovered this one a
while ago. So, all I have is results through observation and
my acceptance of the results.
I can tell ya to read up on the WriteIf function. It will
give you a clue, especially TJ's comments, and an alternative
to your code. You can eliminate the IF statement altogether
and use WriteIf along with WriteVal or NumToStr for the
conversion.
Something like this:
WriteIf(Stat == Indicator OR Stat == Commentary OR Stat ==
aToolTip OR Stat == aInterpret, |WriteVal(Lowbody, 1.3)|, "");
or
WriteIf(Stat == Indicator OR Stat == Commentary OR Stat ==
aToolTip OR Stat == aInterpret, |NumToStr(Lowbody, 1.3)|, "");

That works fine!!
I don't like to "look a gift horse in the mouth", but,
how did you know? I've looked through AB Users Guide and
Help file and can't find where that might be explained.
If you've got the time, I would sure like to know, to get
a better understanding of what I am doing.
Thank you so much.

Thank you for your suggestion. However, I know I
don't need it for *just* the snippet displayed.
This is from a much larger program where I wish to
disable the display in Indicator, Commentary, etc.,
if/when some other actions are performed.
When I post a question, rather than post my entire
code, I try to break my code down first to just that
part that I do not understand, and post it.
So my question remains.

Without the 'if()' restriction below, all of
the text and WriteVal(), etc. is displayed in
the Interpretation Window as it should be.
However, when include the 'if()' restriction it
is no longer visible. I believe it should
still be visible because of the "Stat ==
aInterpret" inclusion in the 'if()'. If all
plot() statements a within the 'if()'
restriction, the charts are drawn as expected.
What's wrong?
|Indicator = 1; Commentary = 2; aToolTip = 16;
aInterpret = 17;
Stat = Status("actionEx");
*if*(Stat == Indicator *OR* Stat == Commentary
*OR* Stat == aToolTip *OR* Stat == aInterpret){
"Lowbody = " + WriteVal(Lowbody, 1.3);
"Highbody = " + WriteVal(Highbody, 1.3);
"risk = " + WriteVal(risk, 1.3);
"ATRcond = " + WriteVal(ATRcond, 1.3);
"%risk/Equity = " + WriteVal(100*risk/myE);
}|
Would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.
