Input for days ago comparison

[IBProfyn]

Hello,

Just trying to setup a simple strategy that compares the values of the current bar against the previous x number of bars. I am trying to use the analyzer to run through different values for previous bars back.

Here's what the code looks like.

// Set 1
if ((Low[0] < Low[X])
&& (Close[0] > SMA1[0]))
{
EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "");
}

When using the strategy analyzer if I input anything other than X = 1 the analyzer won't take any trades.

Any input would help

Thanks

Hello IBProfyn,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Are you ensuring there are that many bars ago first, so that index error is not caused?

if (CurrentBar < X)
return;
