Does anyone know how I can reference how many bars have passed since the last trade has closed?

Thanks,

safetrading,

Sure. Try using BarsSinceEntry().

Using the BarsSinceEntry() doesn't work. I think perhaps we did not understand each other. I wanted to know how to reference how many bars have passed since the last trade has closed. Once I added the following to my entry criteria, it will not accept any trade signals;

BarsSinceEntry() > 3

It appears the above works on the assumption that a trade is already open, and since I'm currently flat and looking for a trading opportunity, the BarsSinceEntry() > 3 never occurs.

What I need to reference is how many bars have passed since the previous trade has closed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Please use BarsSinceExit() then.
