exit on entry candle?

[ezrollin]

How could you tell builder to exit at the end of candle you got in at?
I'm thinking of the BarTimer indicator but its not already set up for that.
Or BarsSinceEntryExecution > 1 but that'll exit late.
Thanks

maybe I have to do it via Multi Time Frame (MTF)
Like if my strategy is running on a 5min candle then
I need to only allow it for 5 1min candles and exit on the 5th?

Hello ezrollin,

Thank you for your post.

Not a great way to do that with the Strategy Builder - the best you could really do is run the strategy OnBarClose, then check if you're in a position when the bar closes and send an order, but that order would be on the next bar, not on the bar you entered on. Adding a 1 minute added series wouldn't really help since you can't route orders to that series using the Strategy Builder, but that would be an option if you unlocked the code and manually created that logic.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
