BarsInProgress condition using the strategy builder

[AdeptistJune]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a BarsInProgress condition using the strategy builder?

Hello AdeptistJune,

Thanks for your note.

BarsInProgress cannot be used in the Strategy Builder.

To create a BarsInProgress condition in your script, you would need to unlock the script from the Strategy Builder using the 'Unlock code' button.

See this help guide page for more information about BarsInProgress: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...inprogress.htm

Let me know if I may assist further.

Hello bin_aladin,

The Strategy Builder adds if (BarsInProgress != 0) return; to the script in OnBarUpdate(). All updates will only occur for BarsInProgress 0.
You can access price data and indicator values from other added data series, but this will accessed while BarsInProgress 0 is updating.
Because of this, there is BarsInProgress property in the condition builder, as BarsInProgress will always be 0.
