Action after enter trade

[SuperDude123]

Hi
I'm using strategies builder to program simple bot. How do I tell bot to exit a trade 5 bar after it enter trade and not counting bar before that. For example.

After enter long trade, exit if this bar is greater than 5 bar ago.
Problem I have now is, it counts bar before it enter

Thanks

Hello SuperDude123,

Thanks for your post.

You could use BarsSinceEntryExecution() to detect if a certain number of bars have passed since your last entry execution and then call something like ExitLong() to exit your position. When a signal name is provided to BarsSinceEntryExecution(), the number of bars that have elapsed since that last specific entry will be returned.

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code.
