    Base profit target and stop limits on bar size

    Is there a method that reports out the bar size (and type) being used which will allow a strategy to automatically set stops and profit targets based on the tick size of the bar? (I'm thinking range, or renko type bars in this case.)

    Daven,

    Thank you for your post.

    You would want to take a look at BarsPeriod for getting this value -

      I tried the following construct but it doesn't print out any values so I'm thinking I am using the incorrect syntax:

      Code:
      protected override void OnBarUpdate()
      {
         if (BarsInProgress == 1)
           {
           Profit = BarsPeriod.Value;
           Stop = BarsPeriod.Value;
           Print ("Profit is  "  + Profit   +  "Stop is  "  + Stop);
           }

          My bad. I thought BarsInProgress was CurrentBar. I changed the value to 0 since there is only one data set in the strategy and it is working as expected.
          Thanks for your help.
