if (BarsInProgress == 0)

[trader3000a]

Hi,
How/Where do I implement the BarsInProgress overload on the following? Both are intended to look at the primary bar size.

if (BSE == 1)
{
ExitLong(); ExitShort();
}

else if (BarsSinceEntryExecution() == BSE - 1)
{
ExitLong(); ExitShort();
}​

Hello trader3000a,

Thank you for your post.

I suggest reviewing the BarsInProgress page of the help guide, which includes a snippet that isolates logic depending on if the primary series is calling OnBarUpdate() or if an added series is calling OnBarUpdate();

• https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...inprogress.htm

We have an overview of Multi-Time Frame & Instruments here:

• https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nstruments.htm

Additionally, the different help guide pages for order methods from the managed approach typically include an overload that allows you to specify int barsInProgressIndex. This is considered Advanced Order Handling and is detailed in the "Working with a Multi-Instrument Strategy" on the following page:

• https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...r_handling.htm

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Hi,
I've looked at the documentation and tried a few things, including:

if (BSE == 1)
{
ExitLong(); ExitShort();
}

else if (BarsInProgress == 0)
{
if (BarsSinceEntryExecution() == BSE - 1)
{
ExitLong(); ExitShort();
}
}

but i still get the error:
Strategy 'openPEET': Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method on bar 20: Strategy 'openPEET/-1': You must use the overload that has a 'BarsInProgress' parameter when calling the BarsSinceEntryExecution() method in the context of a multi-time frame and instrument strategy.​

Hello trader3000a,

Thank you for your reply.

You are calling BarsSinceEntryExecution() though you will need to call BarsSinceEntryExecution(int barsInProgressIndex, string signalName, int entryExecutionsAgo) because you have a multi-series strategy. The syntax is listed here:

• https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...yexecution.htm

You may use '' for signalName if you do not wish to specify a signal name, and you may use 0 for the last entry execution on entryExecutionsAgo if needed.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi Emily,
Thanks. That did the trick
