time between trades

[Adamel]

hi i want a guide for how can I set a condition to set a candle number between trades as an example to be at least 10 candles between the exit and re-entry of other trade

You could create a variable like int CandlesAfterTrade and set that to 0 once a trade has exited. Add to it every candle. In order to take a trade again, you need your normal conditions, but also CandlesAfterTrade >= 10. Is that what you were looking for?

I have been trying to do the same thing in my strategy as to not take trades too soon after a trade finishes, so I don't chase trades that may be moving against my bias. If anyone can provide working code of how to accomplish a "barsToWait" logic, that would be great.

What does your code look like?

Hello Adamel,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

The BarsSinceExitExecution() may be what you are looking for.

Your condition can require this value to be either equal to -1 (no exit has been made) or greater than 10.

yes, I think you understand me but I still do not get the condition you said how the condition would be like.

Hello Adamel,

In the future, be sure to mention if you are using the strategy builder and not coding the script by hand.

Attached is an example made with the strategy builder.
BarsSinceExitTest_NT8.zip

The check for bars since exit being equal to -1 or greater than or equal to 10 is in a condition group using 'If Any' to join the condition with ORs.
The other conditions for entry would be added to the condition set, but not within the bars since exit condition group.
This will draw a dot and submit an entry 10 bars after the last exit.

Below I am including a link to a support article with helpful resources on getting started with NinjaScript and C#, and includes links to training videos.

Hello Adamel,

To confirm you are testing the example script I provided you and no trades are appearing?

Is the BarsSinceExitTest strategy applied to a chart and enabled?

I don't use the script because I'm using the strategy builder and not coding the script by hand when I set the condition nothing change so he condition not working it's give's me the same results without it
when I check the code it look like this // Condition group 1
&& ((BarsSinceExitExecution(0, @"BUY", 0) > 300)
|| (BarsSinceExitExecution(0, @"BUY", 0) == -1)))

Hello Adamel,

The script I provided you was created in the Strategy Builder and opens in the Strategy Builder.

Can you clarify why you are not using the strategy builder example I provided you?
