Problem using BarsSinceEntryExecution

[Trader_Mark]

When I add this condition to my strategy, the Strategy Optimizer never takes a trade.

// Set 1
if ((blah blah blah)
  && (blah blah blah)
  && (BarsSinceEntryExecution() > 10 || BarsSinceEntryExecution() == -1))
{
....

I have tried adding the signal name as well.

(BarsSinceEntryExecution("LongEntry")>10 || BarsSinceEntryExecution("LongEntry")==-1)

Hello Trader_Mark,

Does your strategy include exits?

I am unable to replicate the issue you are having, see attached.

So I may test on my end, please upload the strategy in the format below,

To export a NinjaScript from NinjaTrader 8 do the following:
From the Control Center window select Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript...
Click Add>Select the indicator>OK>Export.
Then attach that file you saved; under My Docs>NT8>Bin>Custom>Select the downloaded .zip file.

Thank you.

Strategy attached.

Comment out the BarsSince.... condition and you should get trades. With that line in, I do not.
