Volume[BarsSinceEntry()+1)

[everington_f]

I am running the following logic that is trying to say:
if the volume of the entrybar +1 > the entrybar then exit.
else exit after entrybar +3
seems to compile but doesnt work in practice.... the strategy is calconbarclose = false. Stopoffset is a myinput() value. Any ideas?

Regards


if (Volume[BarsSinceEntry()+1] > Volume[BarsSinceEntry()+0])
{
ExitLong("", "");
ExitShort("", "");
}


else
if (BarsSinceEntry() > stopOffset)


{
ExitLong("", "");
ExitShort("", "");
}

Any errors shown in Control Center logs during runtime?

[everington_f]

no errors on the log..... the point is to enter the trade... then compare after barsincentry =1 has elapsed... and compare it to the volume of the
bar that the position was opened in....

Then what aspect of this does not work? What behavior do you see as is?

[everington_f]

tends to enter multiple trades and stop them immediately.... is there a simpler way tp code ìt ? or is it not possible to extract the volume of a bar in which a trade opened after time has elapsed.. ?

It is possible, but you have to do it at the correct time. I.e. after you have entered the trade.

You should add some checks like if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long) or something like that.
