how to skip first bar of session in condition


I use a condition that counts all bars (the volume of all bars since the beginning of the session), I had the task of excluding the first bar of the session from the condition, that is, I need to start the calculation of the condition from the second bar of the session

how can I do it right?

Tried so - does not work

if (Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession == false)
if Conditionl)
{
}

UPD

rechecked by printout

if (Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession == false) - works good

the first bar is excluded from the calculation.

Then the question changes to how to exclude, for example, the first 3 bars from the calculation?

Hello memonolog,

Thanks for your post.

You can use Bars.BarsSinceNewTradingDay: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tradingday.htm

if (Bars.BarsSinceNewTradingDay > 3) // perform after the 3 first bars
{
if (your condition)
{

Paul, is there a way to achieve this kind of condition within the strat builder? I have a range bar pattern I'm working with and I need the strategy to ignore any bars from a prior session, or even better, a prior time.

thanks,
David

Hello trader3000a,

Thanks for your post.

The only reference the strategy builder would have is Misc>First bar of session which is a true/false condition.

You can use a time filter or time referfence.
