Limiting Historical Data

[Sharkomax]

When i use Print(Close[1]); i get lots of ticks up to very last last tick of previous bar!
How do I limit historical data maybe to 5-10 bars ago so i don't get all those unnecessary data?
Thank you.

rigthclick on the chart -> DataSeries --> Load data based on : change it to "Bars" --> Bars to load: insert your preferred value here.

This will work for the chart but will it be the same for strategy?

i dont really get what the problem is. why do u even want to print the close of a bar and what bar? And for what purpose.

if u use something like Print(Close[1]) ninjatrader will automaticly go through all your loaded data and perform this Print (if possible) for every single bar. thats why u get so many entries. you basicly get 1 for every bar. the only way to prevent that is to load less data but why? i dont even understand what you are tryin to achieve. whats the purpose of all of this.

if you apply a strategy to a chart (by rightclicking and strategy) u can do the same thing as i said in my previous post. if you use the strategy analyzer then the only way to limit the amount of prints that way would to only run the strategy for 5 bars but again, i dont get what your goal is.

maybe you should explain what ur tryin to do a bit better.
