Counting Bars after Boolean true

[Lopat]

Hello i want to count X bars after a bool is set true:

if
(Indicator[0] == 3);
{
IndicatorLong = true;
}

if
(IndicatorLong == true && ;
{
NewBarCounter++;
}

if
(IndicatorLong= true && NewBarCounter>= 5);
{
IndicatorLong= false;
NewBarCounter= 0;
}

I dont know how to implment that the counter is increment by 1 after every new bar.

Can someone help here?

Thanks

Hello Lopat,

What you posted should essentially do that but I do see some errors in the way you made your conditions. In C# you never use the semi colon on an if statement, your if condition should always be formatted like this:

if(someCondition)
{

}

You currently have

 if(someCondition);

Which prevents the logic below the if condition from happening when the condition is true.

Your condition should look like this:

if(Indicator[0] == 3)
{
     IndicatorLong = true;
}​

You may also need to change the Indicator[0] == 3 to Indicator[0] >= 3, checking if two double type numbers are exactly equal in C# is not possible.

Another item here would be to add prints so that you can output how your logic is working when you run the script. That will help to make sure its doing what you had expected.

Hi thanks! I change the code.

does this part increment by 1 after each bar?

if
(IndicatorLong == true)
{
NewBarCounter++;
}

or do I need to add that the counter increment after each new bar? And when yes. How do I do it?

Hello Lopat,

Assuming that you are using OnBarClose processing yes. Once IndicatorLong is true that condition will be true. In C# you can increment a variable by using the ++ operator. Using ++ is the same as NewBarCounter = NewBarCounter + 1;

Thanks a lot. It is working now like I want it. Thanks for the quick response
