Consectutive Bar Counter

[Rogue_Two]

Would anyone be able to help me with a trigger that would enter based upon a number of consecutive green or red bars?

Hello Rogue_Two,

If you are creating this in the Strategy Builder you would need to create multiple conditions in the condition set using bars ago indexes.

Compare the Price -> Close with 0 bars ago to be greater than the Price -> Open with 0 bars ago for the first condition.
Compare the Price -> Close with 1 bars ago to be greater than the Price -> Open with 1 bars ago for the first condition.
etc. continuing for the number of bars you would like to check on each update.

Below is a public link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript. Please take a look at the Strategy Builder 301 training video linked in this post.

If you wanted to be able to choose the number of bars from an input this would require unlocking the script and using a loop.

Below is a public link to a 3rd party education site that demonstrates how to use a for loop.
