I try to trade with Scripts but sometimes I forget I have them on or imagine they are still on. Since I forget faster than I imagine, I would like to see on the chart a note "....", that remembers me: the script is running. Ok I got the script to do this (see attachment) (In case it should not compile I have saved a Metaeditor 5.00, which works fine with most old Indis and Scripts). If the script would need some updating, feel free to do so.
Now - as you see appetite grows - I would like three different options and do not know how to accomplish them:
Option 1. after the script has done its job, the note disappears
Option 2. after the script has done its job, the note changes to: "job done"
Option 3. the script does not disappear, when I change TF.
I understand that Scripts are programs that are intended to perform a single action: a Script stops functioning once it has completed its function one time. Does option 1 define one action, because they happen simultaneously or are they distinct single actions, which cannot be programmed as a Script? Same question for option 2. Option 3 is from what I understand not possible, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for your help, Mike

Comment("");

Option 2. after the script has done its job, the note changes to: "job done"

Comment("Job done");

Option 3. the script does not disappear, when I change TF.
