Finding close price of previous entry

[Jeddy197]

Essentially, I am trying to make a condition where close [0] > close [previous entry]

I've searched all throughout the NT help guide, but I can't find anything. And I'm used to MT4, so this is all new to me. My guess is that I could somehow use BarsSinceEntry [0] and then using that value to build the condition.

Hello Jeddy197,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forums!

Yes, that would be correct that you may use the BarsSinceEntry() method to be able to get the Close price of the bar when you entered.

You could also save the "CurrentBar" value to a variable to so that you can get the bar value as well.

Happy to be of further assistance.

Thank you. I hate to be spoon fed, but how would that look in syntax?

Again, I'm very new to this, but trying to learn!

Hello Jeddy197,

You may use something like:

if (Close[0] > Close[BarsSinceEntry()] ) 
{
    // Do something.
}
