  Hello together,

  1.) how can I get the price or the intraday bar index back from point 1 and / or point 2 (such as TradeIndex or TradePrice).
  2.) How do I calculate that after point 1 point 2 is reached after [n] bars

  Welcome to the forums.

  You need to define how point 1 and point 2 are identified. We can’t guess.

  TRADEINDEX is the index number of the last bar that an order was filled at.

  TRADEPRICE is the last price an order was filled at.

  Your question is a little difficult to understand without more detail.

  thanks for the answer … okay i try to explain it better.
  It doesn’t really matter how point 1 comes about, it can be a line or a moving average or whatever. I am concerned that, if the point triggered I get a value back.
  to question 1)
  Yes like TradePrice, but there is no order in the market yet, I only need to get the Price or IntradayBarIndex back.
  e.g. (Price crosses over a Line = Point 1) … I would like to get the value or the BarIndex back here.
  to question 2)
  e.g. (Price crosses over a Line = Point 1) I would like to know here if the line 2 is undershot after [n] bars ((Price crosses under a Line = Point 2).
  I hope it is easier to understand now!?

  Just store values in variables every time your event occurs and then you can calculate how many bars there have been since the last time it occurred.

  if (your event1) then myindex = barindex myprice = close endif barcount = barindex - myindex

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  if (your event1) then myindex = barindex myprice = close endif   barcount = barindex - myindex
