Check age based on candles

[Xander]

Hi All
Is it possible to check the age of a trade based on candles rather than time? From what I can see the check age block does not have this option.

The easiest way is to define a variable that increases by 1 when a new candle opens if there is a trade running.

int BarCounter = 0

Once per bar - If trade -> BarCounter = BarCounter+1

You have to reset that variable when there is no trade. My suggestion is to reset it when a new trade opens.

This is just an example
