Hello al.kooh,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

To count or do any math in the Strategy Builder it is necessary to use a Series with an offset. The offset is where arithmetic can be performed.

Below is a link to an example of counting bars in the Strategy Builder.

As well as a link to a video on using the offset with Series.

Thanks for the response. It was complicated and a separate strategy. Not sure how to use it in my strategy. Is there any crossover/under strategy procedure for Nth bar after the conditions are met available?

Hello al.kooh,

Add a series. On each new bar set the series value to the previous bar's value with an offset of adding 1. This will count the number of bars.

In a different condition trigger the action when the series value is N. Then set the series value to 1 to reset it.
