BarsSinceEntry()

[spinalwiz]

Hi,

I have a strategy that works, but when I enter this code the strategy stops working (it compiles fine but when executed it does not place any orders).

This is literally the only addition to the code:

Print(BarsSinceEntry());

The tooltip says "*do not use this overload on a multitime and instrument strategy"

If I use :

Print(BarsSinceEntry("sellSignalShort"));

it sill doesnt work.

Any ideas?

I tried adding:

if(BarsInProgress != 0)
return;

but it didnt make any difference.

p.s. it is a multitimeframe but not a multiinstrument strategy.

Hi spinalwiz,

Do you get any errors in the Log tab when applying the strategy?

You want to use the full syntax when working with more than one bars object (multitime) :

BarsSinceEntry(int barsInProgressIndex, string signalName, int entriesAgo)

Thanks, this works
