Invalidation Behavior

DropdownNumerical

Expand

None

No invalidation behavior.

Invalidate On Step 1

The "Invalidate On Step 1" behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when the condition on step 1 trigger. This prevents the first step condition from happening in between other steps of the condition sequence.

This behavior is useful when the first step of our sequence of conditions needs to never be repeated during the sequence.

Example

Let's take an example where we use 3 regular steps.

Step 1

Step 1 condition trigger, we will now evaluate step 2 from now on.

Step 2

Step 2 condition trigger, we will now evaluate step 3 from now on.

Step 1 Trigger

Step 1 condition trigger, we start evaluating step 2 from now.

Invalidate On Any Repeated Step

The "Invalidate On Any Repeated Step" behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when a step is triggered such that it does not respect the user-set order of conditions.

This behavior is useful when we want a perfectly ordered sequence of conditions to complete, without any step repeating itself.

Example

Let's take an example where we use 3 regular steps.

Step 1

Step 1 condition trigger, we will now evaluate step 2 from now on.

Step 2

Step 2 condition trigger, we will now evaluate step 3 from now on.

Step 1 or 2 Trigger

Step 1 or 2 conditions trigger, we start evaluating step 1 from now.

Invalidation behaviors allow adding more restrictions to a sequence of conditions; users can use two different invalidation behaviors described below.

Maximum Step Interval

Numerical Inputdefault:10

Maximum allowed horizontal distance (in bars) between two steps.

If the number of bars since a step exceeds the selected threshold, then the condition sequence is reset, and we start evaluating from step 1 again.
