Bars since an Event

[Domek_69]

Hi,
I would like to count the number of bars since a specific event took place - like Low crossing MA (or any other indicator). Or to check whether this happened in the past X bars. Is it possible in Strategy Builder or do I have to switch to script?

Thank you

Petr

Hello Domek_69,
Thanks for your post.

NinjaScript offers the Most Recent Occurrence (MRO) function for this purpose, but one would have to write this in a script, it can not be used in the Strategy Builder. Making a function of this type would require looping so making multiple sets would be the only way to emulate a loop in the Strategy Builder.

There is a sample use case of MRO on it's help guide page:

Hello Josh,
I was afraid this would be the answer. Thank you anyway.
