Welcome to tutorial 52 in this series of tutorials designed to help you learn TradeStation EasyLanguage. This tutorial was created using TradeStation Version 8.7.
This tutorial looks at a scenario where you have a pyramid trade and you wish to manage the trade such that each ‘leg’ of the trade is held for a specific number of bars.
In the tutorial we discuss the BarsSinceEntry EasyLanguage keyword and how this refers to the first ‘leg’ in the pyramid trade. Consequently we need to find a way of tracking the number of bars that each subsequent ‘leg’ in the trade is held. This tutorial demonstrates a way of doing this.
