Hi
Overall is the number of runs the trigger has run on all markets since the start of the program.
If Overall is unticked, it's the number of runs that trigger has run on the current market.

hi
to add to marks reply.
the overall idea to let the trigger fire once only, then wait for the last market to be settled
trigger xxx number of runs is greater than 0  overall
or previous triggered events status is settled
so the first market the trigger will run as normal, but the next market it will wait for that last market to be settled.
if you did not tick overall then the trigger would just keep activating without waiting for the last market to be settled

Again many thanks for the explanation, I am backing in some near same time markets so do not want the last market to be settled so now I know what I am doing, well, for a few minutes anyway, this really is the place to get help and answers.

hi
I found this topic here, so I will not make new one.

if the overall box is checked, how can I reset it? 
is there any way as for history win/loss reset?

thanks

Hi
Overall ticked is the number of times the trigger has run in all markets since the start of the program. The only way to reset is to restart the program.

Overall not ticked is the number of times the trigger has run in the current market. This is reset to zero on a repetition of a trigger block, using the Close Block trigger action.

You can easily make a counter user variable if you need something else:

set user variable, name: counter, value: counter+1

and then you can reset counter whenever you want.

I need to reset win/loss history when the condition are met - see the attachment.
but when the overal is not checked, than it ignores it, because the triggers are in different markets. when the overall is checked than it works but only one time .
