Stratgey Results Disapper With BarsSinceExit

[heyligerb]

Hi all,

I have a working staratgety, and I'm just trying to tweek it a bit, by ensuring it dosen't jump right back into a trade after getting stopped out. To accomplish this, I'm ensure we've waited at least one bar since we've exited, and I'm using BarSinceExit to accomplish this.

Here is what code I"m using:

Onbarupdate...

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat &&
ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime(8, 00, 0) &&
ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(15, 55, 0) &&
BarsSinceExit() > 1 || BarsSinceExit() == -1)
tradepermission = true;
But when I add the BarsSinceExit part, I get no results on my backtest. Am I using this command improperly?

Regards,

Brian

Brian,

You need to () the BarsSinceExit() conditions.

(BarsSinceExit() > 1 || BarsSinceExit() == -1)

Still no workie...

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat &&
ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime(8, 00, 0) &&
ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(15, 55, 0) &&
(BarsSinceExit() > 1) || (BarsSinceExit() == -1))
tradepermission = true;

Then you will just need to debug out each one of those conditions to see if they are actually true. Use Print() to determine if you are even entering the if-statement. Then figure out which part is the limiting factor. Also, check your Control Center logs for errors.

Multi time frame issue:

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat &&
ToTime(Time[0]) > ToTime(8, 00, 0) &&
ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(15, 55, 0) &&
(BarsSinceExit(1, "", 0) > 1 || BarsSinceExit(1, "", 0) == -1))
tradepermission = true;

Glad you got it resolved.
