Bars Since a Condition in a Strategy

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

If all your entry conditions have the built in function BarsSinceEntry(), then you've prevented any entries from happening.

You would only want this condition active after the first entry, so you need to code for a sequence. You can code a sequence with bool flags. See here for a similar question with BarsSinceExit and one approach.

I would simplify until everything works as you expect. Get BarsSinceEntry working first in a single series and then only apply to multi series when you know how eveything works.

When inputting parameters, just use values and not a variable declaration.
BarsSinceEntry(0, "", 0)

I am using the BarsSinceEntry to test which BarsInProgress I want to use, so my test for exit is
(BarsSinceEntry(exbarBSEbip, "",0)
exbarBESbip modifies the setting of the range bar. From the comment by Ryan, it sounds like this is not possible !? I dont see any errors and there are no compiler issues.

Thanks again,
Jon

Jon, that comment was intended to simplify mkt's code and correct their particular usage. You can use variables here, but not something like int BarsInProgress == 0

Thanks for that Ryan! ... actually on the code I was using (instead of directly using an integer) it appears that it was causeing a 'object reference not set to an instance of an object' error in the log tab during optimization, but not on a backtest.
