Enter on Bar Close, Exit on each tick

[joeyfreshwater]

I am trying to enter a long after the formation of a candlestick pattern which would be on "bar close" But would like to exit the strategy at the top of the Bollinger band on "each tick" so the current bar closes for profit. Please help thanks with coding. thanks!

Hello joeyfreshwater,

Thanks for your post.

In order for your code to execute as you wish, you would have to add further programming and run your strategy with Calculate.OnEachTick (or Calculate.OnPriceChange). You can use the bool IsFirstTickOfBar as a means to know when the first tick of a new bar occurs and that would be your once per bar event

Here is a link to an example reference strategy that demonstrates processing some parts with Calculate.OnEachTick and other parts only once per bar: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...either_cal.htm
