Time since entry

[brucelevy]

I am looking to trigger a breakeven stop after x minutes by adding multi time frame to a bars since entry but not sure exactly how to set it up...



&& BarsSinceEntry(BarsArray[1],"L1") >=1

ie. entry on 5 minute but breakeven after 1 hour.

Thanks.

Hello brucelevy, and thank you for your question.

The easiest way to do this would be to set a stop loss well away from the current price in the Initialize section with SetStopLoss, and then to modify it in OnBarUpdate once the condition you mentioned has passed. If you can provide a more complete code sample, I can modify it directly to demonstrate what I mean.

Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.
