bars ago code

[stockgoblin]

Hi,

I'm trying to draw a ray between occurrences of similar candlesticks. How do I define the value for how many bars ago it occurred?

stockgoblin, you can define this by setting the anchoir points parameters in the DrawRay overload - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...t7/drawray.htm

yes, I know the drawray syntax, but how do I set up an occurrence tracker to establish when the last specific candlestick occurred?

ex) draw a ray using the current high close bar and the previous high close bar.

You could keep simply track of the barnumber (CurrentBar) on which the condition evaluates in your script or use a method like LRO / MRO for this task : http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...urence_mro.htm
