Hi, Despite being easier, copying the code would be the least desirable option, since it becomes a maintenance issue. Any future changes will need to be propagated to multiple locations.
Using #include_once allows you to have a "single point of truth". As your code evolves, this will likely become more and more of an issue for you. To limit your exploration output to a single bar while still running over an extended period, you can play with the Filter statement. For example; Bar = BarIndex(); Filter = Bar == LastValue(Bar); The above will only print output for the last bar of each symbol. However, it does not attempt to verify that it will be the same bar for each symbol (e.g. if YYY had no data for today but ZZZ did, then you would have two different dates for the output). You can run with the idea and try to tune it to output for all the same date. Or, if you only work with symbols that you know have regular trading volume, then this could be good enough.
