SampleBreakOutStrategy

Hello,
In your SampleBreakOut Strategy I have a question.

What is the minimun value for Bars.BarsSinceSession? Can it be 0? I mean if I write the following:

if (Bars.BarsSinceSession = 0) is it the first bar of the session?

Thanks

dvercher,

It is possible for BarsSinceSession to be 0. BarsSinceSession is the number of bars since the beginning of the session (e.g. trading day). As OnBarUpdate() is called for historical bars, BarsSinceSession will be incremented, resetting every new session.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Thank you for your answer, so if I just want to store the highest high from the first 2 bars, which one would be the correct one:

Bars.BarsSinceSession < 1 (in the case 0 counts for the first bar, 1 will be the second)

or

Bars.BarsSinceSession < 2 (in the case 0 does not count for the first bar)

Thanks

dvercher,

Just doing a quick test printing Bars.BarsSinceSession, it goes 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 then repeats for my session so I'd imagine using <1 is the best option.

Please let me know if I may assist further.
