BarsSinceExitExecution

[NRITV]

Hello Ninja Experts:

I am trying to implement BarsSinceExitExecution but does not work.

---------------------------

if ((BarsSinceExitExecution(0,"L1",0) >=2 || BarsSinceExitExecution(0,"L1",0) == -1) && (Closes[0][0] > SMA(10)[0]))
{
EnterLong(1, "L1");
}
  

if (( Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long) && (Closes[0][0] < SMA(10)[0]))
{
ExitLong("XL1", "L1");
}

-------------------------------


Also, tried with Exit Signal:
if ((BarsSinceExitExecution(0,"XL1",0) >=2 || BarsSinceExitExecution(0,"XL1",0) == -1) && (Closes[0][0] > SMA(10)[0]))

I did spend considerable time and have gone through all the posts in this forum but I am unable to find the root cause.

Appreciate your help!

Thanks.

Hello NRITV,

In the code you provided you used 0 as the index for the bars in progress in BarsSinceExitExecution but your entries are being submitted on 1, do you see this work if you use 1 instead of 0? You also should use a Print statement to see wah the value is that is returned from BarsSinceExitExecution.

NinjaTrader_Jesse Jesse Thank YOU!

EnterLong(1, "L1");

1 represents a lot/qty. Please help me understand. I will try with 1 and let you know.

Hello NRITV,

The 1 in that case is bar series number 1 meaning BarsInProgress 1. if you have a multi series script that would be the first added series. You have a primary and then can add series so 1 is not the primary but the first series you added in code.
