Simple 30 Bar Breakout Strategy

[funtra513]

Hello everyone,
these are my first steps with the Ninjatrader Strategy Builder
I am trying to develop a simple breakout strategy, which basically buys at the next bar as soon as the close is higher than the high of the last 30 bars. Currently my condition looks like the following picture, but there is no execution, so there seems to be something wrong with what i've picked.



Would appreciate some help
Thanks everyone

So I found a solution for the problem myself, sometimes just walking away, taking a nap and waiting a few hours helps

For everyone, whos having the same problem:
The lookback period has to be set to 1, so the current bar isn't taken into consideration, which messed up the strategy. I've included it in the two attached pictures.

Hello funtra513,

Below I am providing a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript.

I'm glad you were able to work out a solution.

Yes, using Bars ago 1, would check the previous bar's information, and allow an action on the current bar.

You could also use a bool that is set true when the condition is true as the last set tab, then on the next bar in an earlier set when true trigger an action and set the bool back to false.
