BarsSinceEntry()

[Bruin813]

Hello,

I'm not able to figure this out, so maybe someone can help me. Please have a look at the attached picture.

Now in my opinion the following values should be printed to the output window.

18.00
Bars since entry = 0
Lowest bar since entering trade = 0
Lowest price since entering trade = 1,0968

19.00
Bars since entry = 1
Lowest bar since entering trade = 1
Lowest price since entering trade = 1,0968

20.00
Bars since entry = 2
Lowest bar since entering trade = 2
Lowest price since entering trade = 1,0968

21.00
Etc.

However, the output window print the following:

25-7-2016 18:00:00 BarsSinceEntry() = 0
25-7-2016 18:00:00 LowestBar(Low,BarsSinceEntry() = 0
25-7-2016 18:00:00 Low[LowestBar(Low,BarsSinceEntry()] = 1,0968
25-7-2016 19:00:00 BarsSinceEntry() = 1
25-7-2016 19:00:00 LowestBar(Low,BarsSinceEntry() = 0
25-7-2016 19:00:00 Low[LowestBar(Low,BarsSinceEntry()] = 1,0977
25-7-2016 20:00:00 BarsSinceEntry() = 2
25-7-2016 20:00:00 LowestBar(Low,BarsSinceEntry() = 1
25-7-2016 20:00:00 Low[LowestBar(Low,BarsSinceEntry()] = 1,0977

Where the LowestBar seems to be one lower than supposed to. Does anyone now why this is?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Gunnar

Hello Bruin813,

Thank you for writing in.

I wouldn't expect the Low value to go up.

Can you please provide your script so I may test it on my end?

If it is an indicator, it can be found within the Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Indicator folder on your computer. If it is a strategy, it can be found within the Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Strategy folder.

Dear Zachary,

I think I found out. The LowestBar function does not see zero as a valid value while BarsSinceEntry() does.

Thanks for replying, though.
