Bars Since Exit Execution to set order quantity

[jng330]

Hello, I am having trouble creating a strategy set to increase variable "Order Quantity" to 2 after a stop loss is trigger. I want it to remain 2 until i profit on next trade so i did another strategy set to decrease the variable "Order Quantity" back to 1. Can you give me some assistance on this.

See below for the code:

// Set 5
if (BarsSinceExitExecution(0, @"Stop loss", 0) > 1)
{
OrderQuantity = 2;
}

// Set 6
if (BarsSinceExitExecution(0, @"Profit target", 0) > 1)
{
OrderQuantity = 1;

Thanks
John

Hello John,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

The condition you have appears correct.

I gave this a test and I'm finding that printing OrderQuantity to the output window shows a value of 2 after the stop loss has filled.

In case you are currently using prints and TraceOrders to understand behavior, I am including a link to a forum post that demonstrates below. Please watch the video 'Debugging using prints with the Strategy Builder'.

Attached is the script I have used to test your condition.
