calculate on each tick AND exit after x bars

[trader3000a]

Hi, I'm working with a script that places a limit order below the prior candle's high if that high is touched or breached, so I needed to use "calculate on each tick" for that to work, but I also want to close the trade after 1 bar, but this seems to conflict with "on each tick" (the trade closes after 1 tick instead of after 1 bar). Is there a method I can use to close a trade after 1 bar even though my strat is working on ticks?
thanks,
David

Hello trader3000a,

Thank you for your post.

For that, you can use BarsSinceEntryExecution() to check that 1 bar has elapsed prior to sending an exit order:

For example:

if (BarsSinceEntryExecution() == 1)
{
ExitLong();
}
