BarRange

[NinjaTrader_PatrickH]

Hello KingElephant,

Thank you for your response.

The code would use FirstTickOfBar and a bool to check the next bar. You can find an example below, and information on FirstTickOfBar at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ttickofbar.htm

        #region Variables
		private bool checkNBar = false;
        #endregion

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
			
        }
        
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			if (Range()[0] > 0.15);
			{
				checkNBar = true;
			}
			if(checkNBar && FirstTickOfBar)
			{
				EnterLong("Long open");
				checkNBar = false;
			}
		}

Thank you for suggestion with Bars.FirstBarOfSession

I'm not sure if I use this properly.

Would like to enter long at close price of current bar when it's range is greater than 15 ticks.

if (Range()[0] > 0.15);
{
EnterLong("Long open");
}

Can you advise?

What do I need to change if want open position at next bar open price rather than current bar close ? Price in most cases should be the same but just wondering.

Hello KingElephant,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

You would use Bars.FirstBarOfSession: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rofsession.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hi guys

I'm looking for a function that counts bar range instead of calculating High - Low.
Something like:

if (BarRange[0] >= userVariable )
{
EnterLong(1, "EnterLong");
}

What do I need to use to check this "BarRange" just for the first bar of the session?

Thank you in advance,
KingElephant
