How to know the bar last trade was closed?

[pakricard]

Hi:

I'm trying to implement an strategy, and I need to know, for the last trade executed, which was the bar of the close of the trade.

In other words, which bar caused the target or stop loss to be filled? How many bars ago did my last trade close?

I guess there must be a way to know it, but I couldn't find it. Any help will be appreciated!

One simple way can be to implement OnExecution method. This method gets invoked whenever there is a execution.

In this method, initialize a global integer variable and then on each OnBarUpdate increment the variable by 1. So you will know at any time, how many bars have passed since the last execution.

Hope this helps.

Pakricard,

Thank you for your post.

StockFundoo is correct. You can declare your variable from the variables region first then increment it in the OnBarUpdate() method.

When an execution gets called you would want to reset the variable in the OnExecution() method so you can have it start over in the counting.

Below is a link for the OnExecution() method -
