BarsSinceEntryExecution not working

[Brillo]

The BarsSinceEntryExecution API is not reporting the correct number of bars. I may be miss understanding the usage.
If I want to get the number of bars for my primary series call this:

BarsSinceEntryExecution(0, LongEntryOrderName, 1);

Do I pass 0 or 1 for the last parameter? I have tried both but neither work. I believe I’m supposed to pass 1 ( please advise ).

The overload that doesn’t take any parameters seems to work alright but I can’t use that version in a multi-series strategy.

I attached screen shot and the strategy I used to test.

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

Regarding the overload usage, a 1 would denote 1 entries ago, if you are trying to get the Current entry, a 0 would be used. This works similar to a BarsAgo, but with Entries.

I downloaded the attached file but I am unable to test it as it includes third party items. Are you able to reproduce the result you are getting in a more simple test like the following syntax?

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
	AddDataSeries("ES 12-16", BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
	if(State == State.Historical) return;
        if(BarsInProgress != 0) return;
 	if(Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
	{
	     EnterLong(1, 1, "Signal");
	}
	Print(BarsSinceEntryExecution(1,"Signal",0));
}

In this specific case, we place a single entry and just Print to determine the logic.

I had tested using a primary of 10 seconds and a secondary of 5 minutes. In this case there will be many prints with 0 bars since entry although the primary has elapsed many bars. A zero would be reported until the 5 minute series closes a bar. Once the Secondary elapses it would increment.

The reverse would be true using a 5 minute series and adding a 10 second series. We would see many increments to the BarsSinceEntryExecution on each 5 minute bar closed.

In both cases I could see this was working, could you try a simple test like the one above and modify it as needed to see if you can produce the result you are seeing?


I look forward to being of further assistance.
