Count how many "bars in last trade"?

[tschalli27]

Hello,

I would like to count how many "bars in last trade".

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Everything I reviewed in the documentation made reference to either bars since exit, or bars since entry.


if(Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Currency) >= 300
&& "how many bars in last successful trade?"

Try this out -

			//Last trade made
			Trade Count = Performance.AllTrades[Performance.AllTrades.Count - 1];
			Print(Count.ExitExecution.BarIndex - Count.EntryExecution.BarIndex);

Hello tschalli27,

Thanks for your post and also thanks to Calonious for the response.

In your example you referenced bars in a winning trade. To achieve the number of bars in a winning trade (using Calonious's example):

Trade Count = Performance.AllTrades.WinningTrades[Performance.AllTrades.WinningTrades.Count - 1];
Print(Count.ExitExecution.BarIndex - Count.EntryExecution.BarIndex);

Also, if you prefer to use realtime trades only you can substitute RealtimeTrades where the statement above shows AllTrades.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you both for your guidance, I will give this a try.
