> Anyone know what to use in an indicator in place of BarsSinceEntry?
This is really fairly messy. There no I_BarsSinceEntry to use in
indicators. You can build your own with I_MarketPosition, but
guess what? I_MarketPosition and MarketPosition don't always
change at the same time !!
The specific details of when MarketPosition changes in a system
are a bit obtuse, depending on whether you enter by a stop or at
the open or close. It's been quite a while since I took a very
brief look at this, but if I remember right I_MarketPosition
changes on the bar when the system enters or exits.
This should work, but there may be certain conditions I didn't
think to test. It's at start at least.
var: I_BarsSinceEntry(0);
I_BarsSinceEntry = I_BarsSinceEntry + 1;
if MP = 0 then I_BarsSinceEntry = 0;
