Last price? Newbie needs help

[Trade_cents]

I am new to Ninjatrader and have limited progamming knowledge.

I am building an automated strategy using Condition Builder. I cant find a field for last price? How do I build a condition where last price < low of two bars ago?
ie lastprice < Low[1]

thanks

Hi Trade_Cents,

The first step you want to do is to turn off Calculate on Bar Close on the first page of the Wizard.

The condition statement would be Close[0] < Low[1].

The reason that we turn off Calculate on Bar Close is that so each time the price changes it is calculated right then and not when the bar closes for that time period.

I have provided a link below that will explain the Calculate on Bar Close

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

So in above example Low[1] would be the low of the most recent closed bar? Low[2] would be the low of second most recent closed bar, etc?

Trade_Cents,

Correct. The number represents how far back the BarsAgo should look when calculating.

With Calculate on Bar Close set to False the 0 is the current bar that is forming. 1 would be the bar to the left and 2 would be the second bar to the left, and so on.

The link below will explain the BarsAgo and they work
