Bars ago in Condition builder

[Master]

I'm new to NT and I've tried to use the Bars ago feature in condition builder of the Stategy wizard (applied on tutorial 1), but unfortunately this parameter has no effect on the generated code. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem ?

Master, welcome to the forums! Which condition did you try to model using the wizard and where / how would you expect the 'barsAgo' parameter to change the generated code?

This just refers to how many bars back you want a value ( price, indicator ) to be accessed - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...mparisons.html

Bertrand, thanks for your reply. With some indicators, when I fill the Bars ago parameter the indicator translates into "indicator[Bars ago]", but with other indicators (like the SMA in the tutorial1 of the NThelp file) it translates only into "indicator" and the Bars ago parameter is skipped.

Master, sorry not fully following, please see my shot, the yellow marked part is the barsAgo parameter as set from the wizard / condition builder. Perhaps you can clarify what you expect vs what you see? Thanks

[Master]

Bertrand, please find these 2 screenshots : the 8 bars ago indicated in the condition builder are not taken into account in the generated script, wich remain unchanged.

Thanks Master, this is expected, first one has to be a data series input for CrossAbove / Below so you can't specifiy a barsAgo parameter, for the second one (right hand side) you could enter one.
