BarsSinceExitExecution() and ChangeOrder()

[Impeesa]

Hello

In managed order approach, I use ChangeOrder() to modify stop two tick above long entry price with several conditions.

How can I use BarsSinceExitExecution() n bars from initial stop but not in case BE+2. Is it possible change signal name? If not, how could be done?

Thanks

Hello Impeesa,

Thanks for your post.

If I understand correctly you have an entry with an initial stop. If this trade progresses and you have certain conditions met, you change the stop to BE+2. You are asking about how to create a next entry condition using BarsSinceExitExecution() but only if it hits your initial stop?

If I have understood correctly, the answer here would be to create a bool variable that you set when you do the change order. You can use the state bool then to allow or prevent using BarsSinceEntryExecution(). A generic example:

if (BarsSinceEntryExecution() >= 5 && myBool == true && your other entry conditions)
{
// do something
myBool = false; // reset the bool
}

Hello, Paul

You are ok. I want to create a next entry condition using BarsSinceExitExecution() but only if it hits your initial stop.

But in generic example provided, you use BarsSinceEntryExecution().

I can not see how use a bool for my initial purpose...

Hello Impeesa,

Thanks for your reply.

Correct, I made a mistake using BarsSinceEntryExecution and meant to write that as BarsSinceExitExecution.

When your code executes the change order, that is where you would set a bool variable that would be used to prevent the entry that uses BarsSinceExitExecution.
