Hello cachevery,

Thank you for your response.

Is it possible to attach that file to your response so I may test your most up to date version?

Hello cachevery,

Thank you for your patience.

I am not seeing the items Cal pointed you towards in your code. Have you added the lines Cal provided to your script but did not provide this section? Or are you looking for how to add this to your script at this point?

cachevery, we're sorry but don't follow your latest reply here - could you please clarify further? We could not create the script modifications for you, but have started working with you so you can hopefully make the changes needed on your end. An alternative might be working together with a consultant.

What do i need to clarify,exactly?The request was to add the conditions to the strategy,prevent it working on opening.For e.g,the first hour.I sent the snippet code to you via PM.

Cal`s snippet does not work

Cachevery,

My snippet is simply sample on how to calculate and have the script wait a set number of bars and then do any action that you want.
The first condition checks that the current bar is the first bar of the session. It then assigns that current bar's value to startingBar.
Then in the second condition we look for when most current bar minus the startingBar value is equal to 7, meaning that 7 bars have passed since the first bar of the session.

//This will set the CurrentBar value to the startingBar variable
	if(Bars.FirstBarOfSession)
    		startingBar = CurrentBar;

//We then check the CurrentBar minus the startingBar value and ensure that it is greater than or equal to the set
//Value that is set, this case 7 bars
	if(CurrentBar - startingBar >= mySetValue)
	{
		//Do any action here such as trades
	}

The startingBar and mySetValue are int variables that you will declare in the variable section

private int mySetValue = 7;
private int startingBar = 0;

Greater than or equal and you put a double equal sign.Or it is not important?

doesn`t work so far...

Cachevery,

That was a typo. It should be >=

I corrected my previous statement.

Hi Cal,i found that it was the previous bar from the last session that should be removed.How do i do that?I don`t want the closing bar from the previous serssio to be in play in the strategy.

Cachevery,
