Team - I am new to the coding and trying to embed my custom code in the strategy and it give me the following error:
The name "IsFirstBarOnChart" does not exist in the current chart
The name "IsLastBarOnChart" does not exist in the current chart

How do I fix this.The code is below:

{

if (IsFirstBarOnChart && Close[1] < Open[1])
{
Then...............
}

if (IsLastBarOnChart && Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
{
Then....

Hello NRITV,

Thanks for your post.

IsFirstBarOnChart and IsLastBarOnChart are not supported NinjaScript methods or properties found in the help guide which is why the error messages are occurring.

To check for the first bar on a chart you could consider creating a condition that checks if CurrentBar is equal to 0.

CurrentBar returns the number of bars on the chart.

Bars are counted from the leftmost bar to the rightmost bar on the chart. The first bar (leftmost bar) on a chart would have a bar index of 0.

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

If you are new to C#, to get a basic foundation for the concepts and syntax used in NinjaScript I would recommend this section of articles in our help guide first:
