counter bar from one signal

[bergimax]

Hello and Happy New Year to all!

In my strategy I have a problem I try to describe it:

If (condition A generates an input signal) then buy;
but the break out of condition A create a signal to get short that can occur both after 2 or after 20 candles ..
I attach a picture to clarify ...
any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hello bergimax,

Thank you for your post.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but I believe you are looking for a way to count the bars since entry. You can use BarsSinceEntry() to achieve this.

For information on BarsSinceEntry() please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...sinceentry.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hello bergimax,

Thank you for your response.

You can use something like the following:

if(SignalA)
myIntBarCount = CurrentBar;

if((CurrentBar - myInBarCount) > 5)
// Do something

For information on CurrentBar please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...currentbar.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
