BarsSinceEntryExecution(0,"",0) in multi time frame

[margandi]

hello, i have some problem with BarsSinceEntryExecution(0,"",0) >3,

I want to créate ExitLong in case of


if (BarsInProgress == 0)
{
….

if (High[0]<High[1]
&& Close[0]<Close[1]
&& Low[0] <Low[1]
&& High[1]<High[2]
&& BarsSinceEntryExecution(0,"CH",0) >3
)
{Print("BarsSinceEntryExecution = "+BarsSinceEntryExecution(0,"CH",0));
ExitLong(0,1,"LL","CH");}

It doesn´t execute ExitLong , but DOES execute

Print("BarsSinceEntryExecution = "+BarsSinceEntryExecution(0,"CH",0));


I hve tried :
if (High[0]<High[1]

&& Close[0]<Close[1]

&& BarsSinceEntryExecution(0,"CH",0) >3

)

{

EnterLong(0,1,"LL");}

And it DOES work.


Anyone could help me?

Its back testing.

Hello margandi,

Thanks for your post.

It looks like you are using the exit name of "CH" (ExitLong(0,1,"LL","CH");}) and checking for an entry also named "CH" (BarsSinceEntryExecution(0,"CH",0))

Try BarsSinceEntryExecution(0,"LL", 0)

Note, when used as an entry condition, you have to also check for it returning a -1 in case there is no previous entry which will be the case on the first order. Please see the help guide section here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...yexecution.htm

"CH" is name of entry signal
"LL"- of exit.

ExitLong(

int

barsInProgressIndex

,

int

quantity

,

string

signalName

,

string

fromEntrySignal

)

(ExitLong(0,1,"LL","CH").

I dont see mistake.

do you mean that i have to change loke this? :

ExitLong(

int

barsInProgressIndex

,

int

quantity

,

string

FROMentrysignal

,

string SIGNALname

)

And thank you for reminding to check for returning a -1

Hello margandi,

Thanks for your reply.

You do not have to change, I misread the order of ExitLong(0,1,"LL","CH");
