sorry my english. Im not native speaker.
Hi all, i have a dude about stops in Pine-script.
I'm tring to make a specific trail stop in my strategy script.
I want to make a for loop to evaluate all candless from open strategy date until today.
Has pine-script any variable which contains open position date or number of days or similar thing ?
thank you very much.
There is no variable that I know of that records the date of entries, but since it's your strategy, you should know when it's entering/exiting trades, so you should be able to save the time when those events occur.
Also, rather than waiting for a number of bars to elapse and go back over them with a for loop, it will be much more efficient for you to start tracking whatever info you need from the moment your condition triggers. For most needs, this should allow you to forego using a for loop.
I was just reading this thread: Strategy with sample code
And noticed that it has some work with trailing stop in it. Basically, you should be able to find some pine scripts that work with trailing stops and tailor it to your needs.

I am modeling ticket system with various SLA. The model must contain several service blocks with different reaction time ( from 2 to 32 hours). In the service block only working hours should be taken into account. So in the service block timeout should stop when non-workong hours and on the weekend. Could you please kindly tell me how i can realize it?
Thank you very much in advance!
I can think of two answers, one simplified but works in many cases, the other more advanced and probably more accurate:
Simplified approach: I would set the model in hours and keep everything running as is without any stop. So, at the end of the simulation, if the total time is 100 hours and you know that you have 8 hours/day with 5 days/week, then you'd know the total duration is 2.5 weeks. Of course, this might have limitations or might become more complex later on if you want day-specific actions (e.g. you want to differentiate between Monday, Tuesday, etc.)
Advanced more accurate approach: Create resources whose capacities are defined by schedule and assigned them to your services. Create a schedule and specify the working hours in that schedule. Check the below link to learn more about schedules. I call this the more advanced approach because you need to make sure the schedule is defined correctly and make sure all elements in the model are properly controlled (e.g. non-service blocks such as source, delays, etc.).
https://help.anylogic.com/topic/com.anylogic.help/html/data/schedule.html?resultof=%22%73%63%68%65%64%75%6c%65%73%22%20%22%73%63%68%65%64%75%6c%22%20
I personally would use the first approach if the model is rather simple and modeling working hours is enough for analysis. Otherwise, I'd go for option 2.
Finally, another option I'd like to highlight is the "suspend/resume" functions. I am only adding this because you asked "how to stop timeout". So these functions specifically stop and resume timeout. But you'll need to define the times at which they are executed (through an event for example).
I've currently got this Cron expression that I'm using to trigger a process in UiPath Orchestrator:
0 0 15 21W * ? *
Runs on the closest working day to the 21st of each month at 3pm.
However I need it to run on the next working day at 3pm if the 21st is a non working day.
Tried searching for an answer and nothing quite fit the brief.
I used this website to build my expression (which is a great tool) but it only had an option for 'nearest day' and not next working day given a specific day of month: https://www.freeformatter.com/cron-expression-generator-quartz.html
As you don't need the nearest day, you can't use the functionality of Orchestrator cronjob. I would recommend creating a wrapper process as follows:
Create a new process, let's call it StartJobByCheckingDate
Now create a trigger that starts StartJobByCheckingDate each day at 3pm
So that process is now your manager of your desired process
Now we need to check if it is the 21th day
Here you have different ways to solve it
You could create a DataTable or even a file in the StartJobByCheckingDate process, that contains all the different days where your desired process should be fired (but this is very manual, you might not want to update this every year, so this might not be the smartest but the easiest solution)
The other idea is to check if the current day is the 21th day. If so check if it is Saturday/Sunday (non-working day).
If true: you could now create a empty dummy file somewhere that tracks that the 21th was a non-working day, and the next day you check that file existing, if it exists you check the current day to be a working day, and if so you delete the file again and start your desired process
If false: just start your desired process directly
I think 2. idea would be that best. Sure you have 365 jobs runs/year. But when you keep that helper process smart this will just be seconds.
Another idea instead of using the dummy file, would be to use Entities. Smarter but need some more time to get familiar with.
We have (had) the exact same issue. Since UiPath doesn't offer a feasible solution out of the box, we will work around the restriction using the following strategy: We trigger the actual job daily, considering a custom-built, static NonWorkingDay-list that will just suppress the execution of the robot every day we don't want it to run.
These steps are needed:
Get a list with of all known bank holidays, saturdays and sundays until 2053 or so...
Build a the static exclusion-list using a script that does something like this (pseudocode. I will update the answer once we have actually implemented the solution):
1. get all valid execution dates
loop through every 28th of the month until end of 2053
if the date is in the bankHolidayList then
loop until the next bankDay is found
add it to the list of valid ExecutionDates
else
add the date to the validExecutionDate-list
2. build exclusion-list
loop through every day until end of 2053
if the date is not in the validExecutionDate-list
add it to the exclusionDate-list
Format the csv accordingly and upload it to the orchestrator tenant as a NonWorkingDay-List
Update your trigger to run daily at your desired time, using the uploaded NonWorkDay-Calendar
While the accepted answer will surely work as well, we prefered to go with this approach because having a separate robot that does nothing but executing a UiPath trigger just doesn't seem right to me. With this approach we have no additional code that we potentially need to maintain.
In my oppinion not having a solution for this concern out of the box is a lack of feature that UiPath will (hopefully) fix until end of 2053 ;-)
Cheers
You can configure your trigger to launch oftener, then manage dates at init of your process, but you must set up a list of "holydays" or check in some way.
Also you can use the calendar option of orchestrator (+info)
I am trying to implement a method where a post(s) will be deleted after a given time frame. In my case 10 weeks.
How would I go about implementing a feature? I've read that Firebase does not support server-sided scripting. So how could I go about it? When users uploads a post, I do have a timestamp node attached. Is it a case of comparing the post's timestamp to a timestamp of 10 weeks? And then removing the post? Or is there another, more efficient way to achieve such a thing?
If I was to implement the aforementioned method, this would mean I'd require an observer/method to first analyse ALL posts, then do the comparison and then execute the second phase, depending on the timestamp - removeValue or simply return. And I wouldn't I need to use NotificatonCenter so I can call this code throughout my whole app?
Any input/advice would be appreciated.
I have a spreadsheet that acquires some table data using the IMPORTHTML function, and for the first two days I was using it (refreshing twice daily) things were going fine. As of this morning, it is absolutely crawling. Went from taking ~15 seconds to load 30 rows to taking ~10 minutes. Can somebody lend aid on this?
Example formula:
=IMPORTHTML(
"http://www.muthead.com/16/players/prices/1508-markus-wheaton/playstation-4","table",2
)
As mentioned, the first couple of days it was able to refresh and process a list of 30 without any pauses. Now I get the 'Executing script' message for about ten minutes before it begins to do anything, and I haven't touched the source code since origin. I'm not sure what contributes to the performance of the IMPORTHTML statement...
I've run into similar loading issues when using IMPORTHTML, IMPORTDATA, etc. The best solution I've found is to write a trigger that will edit your formula so it is forced to refresh every hour or so.
Open up the script editor and put this in. Change 'A1' with the cell your IMPORTHTML function is in, and change foo to the URL you're trying to import.
function refreshData() {
var range = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getRange('A1');
range.clear();
range.setFormula('=IMPORTHTML(foo)');
}
Then go to Edit > Current Project Trigger > Add Trigger, and set a refresh interval.
Hope this helps.
I have a Matlab code (from a journal paper) and I'm trying to re-simulate their data.
I executed the code one week ago. I think the code is taking so long time to run. Matlab is still busy and taking 50% of my cpu.
I was wondering if the process has ended with some errors somewhere in the code. My question is:
When I see no errors, can I be sure that everything is fine with this running process? And I can wait until it is finished?
Is there any way to check which part of code is being run now ( without stopping the execution)?
Or I should stop the program and try something else?
Actually I don't want to loose this 1 week and if you think everything is fine, I would wait until the code stops.
(The authors of the paper didn't reply to my question and I don't know how long should it naturally take... They just mentioned it may take a long time to simulate the data).
Unfortunately, there is little we can do for you.
When I see no errors, can I be sure that everything is fine with this running process?
That's pretty much the definition of an error. If no error is raised, then it means that the program is still running.
Is there any way to check which part of code is being run now (without stopping the execution)?
Unfortunately no. For long-lasting execution times like that, a good developing practice is to display some information from time to time to inform the end user of the execution status.
However, if the programs produces files all along the way (like for instance at every step in an iterative simulation) you can check on your computer that the files are well-produced, and the production rate will more or less inform you on the total execution time.
For all your other questions, well, it's up to you to decide what to do (stop it or let it run). Be aware that the execution time can differ significantly from one machine to another, so the time it took on the author's machine may not be really informative to you.
In the future, I would advise you to react faster than within a week. When you launch a code that has a long execution time and see that there is no display within the first hour, you should stop it, modify it such that it regulatly displays information, and re-run it. It's better to loose one hour than one week.
Best,
