Using BarsSinceEntry

[richp6]

Hi,

I'm looking at a strategy that has multiple potential entries. I was trying to code an entry condition to only evaluate if the condition was true if BarsSinceEntry > 3. My problem is that since there hasn't been an entry yet, NT is saying that BarsSinceEntry = 0 and never increases. Do I have to code two different conditions: one for the 1st entry, and 1 for all subsequent entries? Is there something easy I'm missing?

Thanks,

Rich

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

Yes you would need to set a flag before you can start using it. Most likely you dont need another set just add in an and (&&) firstTradeOccured.

Then anytime you call EnterLong() or EnterShort() just set firstTradeOccured = true;
