how to check 3 bars later to see if condition is still true

[Kylemcfar57x]

I wrote a code that when certain conditions are met the CandleOutlineBrush paints a certain color, it plays a sound.

I wanted to know how to see if I could check if the condition is still true on the 3rd candle and play a different sound

the sound plays on if (this.IsFirstTickOfBar) I want to play a different sound than the initial sound as a confirmation as the color may change again before the candle closes

Hello Kylemcfar57x,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

You can use an int variable to know how many bars has passed.

For example if you set the initial value to -1, this would mean no bar number has been set.

Then when the first condition happens, set the bar number.

private int firstConditionBar = -1;

if (Close[0] > Open[0]) // conditions
{
firstConditionBar = CurrentBar;
}

if (CurrentBar - firstConditionBar == 3 && Close[0] > Open[0])
{
Print("condition true 3 bars later");
}

Below I am providing a link to a forum post with helpful resources on getting started with C# and NinjaScript.
