Bars Since Exit

[OtterNinja]

How do you get the condition "Bars Since Exit" to take effect, only after the first trade has been executed.
I added a "Bars Since Exit > 15" condition to my entry strategy and it eliminated all my trades. I think this was because there was not exit to precede an entry. Do I need another entry rule that creates a brief dummy trade to get the sequence going?
Thanks,

Correct OtterNinja, you would need a dummy entry to start the process.

OtterNinja,

A thread I started might be useful.

Thank you,
How do you get that dummy trade to happen only once?

You can just do at a certain CurrentBar at starting up...if (CurrentBar == 20) Enterlong();
