Hello tbmuc,
Thanks for the clarification.

What exactly you want to code. Is it the bar number where the trade took place or how many bars did the trade took from entry to exit.

I look forward to assist you further.

The number of bars between entry and exit.

Hello tbmuc,
Thanks for the clarification.

You can try the following code to get the same.

int barsTraded = BarsSinceExit() - BarsSinceEntry();

Is there a way to get this information for closed trades? The other data is determined tis way:
foreach (Trade myTrade in Performance.AllTrades)
{
IExecution entryOrder =myTrade.Entry;
IExecution exitOrder =myTrade.Exit;
File.AppendAllText( tradefile, strategyname
+ ";" + Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name
+ ";" + entryOrder.MarketPosition
+ ";" + myTrade.Quantity.ToString()
+ ";" + entryOrder.Price.ToString()
+ ";" + exitOrder.Price.ToString()
+ ";" + ToDay(entryOrder.Time).ToString()
+ ";" + ToDay(exitOrder.Time).ToString()
+ ";" + (myTrade.ProfitCurrency * myTrade.Quantity).ToString() +"\r\n"

);
}
