NBarsUp/Down

[x703jko]

How do these methods work? I am trying to develop a strategy that sets a condition when there are consecutive up or down bars. All I want is to set the condition when N consecutive bars either have their close lower than their open (for the down bar condx) or their close higher than their open (for the up bar condx). I don't care about lower/higher highs and lows.

Hence, I set the BarDown parameter true for NBarsDown and the BarUp parameter true for NBarsUp. The other two parameters are false for both NBarsDown and NBarsUp. Hence, I am just looking for N consecutive Red bars (for NBarsDown) and N consecutive Green bars (for NBarsUp).

However, when I test using Sim101 the strategy doesn't trigger my condition when I have the required consecutive red/green bars.

Any thoughts?

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

Can you provide a sample of the logic you have used in the script?

The NBarsUp and down should return only a 0 or a 1 depending if the occurrence was found.

If this is not working it may be due to the logic being used.

There are other ways to accomplish this but I would like to see what you are currently trying to figure out where the problem is.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
