BarsSinceExit

[safetrading]

Can anyone please show me the proper syntax for using BarsSinceExit() to identify a an exit PRIOR to the last trade? In the instructions it simply says to "pass in 0 for the number of bars since the last exit". So I used this;

BarsSinceExit(1)

however, I get an error when compiling, "can not convert from int to string". So then I tried this;

BarsSinceExit("1")

this will compile, but when I run my strategy and have this in my print statement for debugging purposes, it always shows " -1 ", even after severa trades, as if no trades have been exited.

Thanks,

safetrading,

BarsSinceExit(string signalName)

This string is a signal name, so it ties the number to a specific order :

EnterLong(string signalName)

If you are trying to use the BarsInProgress overload, this is the proper method :

BarsSinceExit(int barsInProgressIndex, string signalName, int exitsAgo)
