Entry when signal is 10 bars old + Entry when signal is not given in current bar

[Uregon]

Hello,

Topic 1

I´d like to entry when my strategy trigger but after 10 bars from the signal.

LONG signal > wait 10 Bars > entry

____________________________________


Topic 2

How is it possible to entry when Signal is not valid anymore ?

So in the first bar where the signal is not true anymore, but only one trade, not every new bar then.

Thank you

Topic 1 - save entry signal bar to something
bool SavedBar = CurrentBar

AND THEN
if (CurrentBar > SavedBar + 9)
{
your entry logic
}

Hello Uregon,

UltraNIX is providing good information, but that should be a class level variable so it is not reset on each pass of OnBarUpdate().
private bool savedBar;

if (/* conditions to set trigger */)
{
savedBar = CurrentBar;
}

if (CurrentBar > savedBar + 9)
{
// trigger action
}


NinjaTrader_PaulH has an example of this in the Strategy Builder.
