Greetings,
Yes indeed:
Assuming that your strategy is subscribed to a given period, once a position is opened, your set a trigger (any variable that takes a given value, the best is to use a True/False Boolean variable) and then IF this var is TRUE, you set your counter (simple calculation block that performs an incrementation by 1). Afterwords, once the position is closed, your trigger has to take the value FALSE and therefore you set your counter to 0.

Hello and thanx for quick reply.
I know everything what you meant except what variable in calculation block would increase (count) number of candles.
F.E.: Time frame is 4H, and there are 5 candles between open and close position, so number of candles will be from 1 to 5 and again 0 after closing position.
Can you put some example please?
Regards

Hello Amine. Just a little update... Is it first IF block (rounded in picture) absolutely necessary? Isn't enough just check state position (filled) in second IF block? I ask this to avoid redundancy. Regards

Hi there,
Well it's good question. Obviously a simple check of position state should be sufficient but for the time being the system 'read' this condition with the assumption that position variable should have a value (Created/opened/filled/closed etc) and often when we work with position variables (except when we use position viewer block) the direct verification of the position state generate an error as the system consider that position variable gets already an assigned value which is not always the case: for instance, when a position is not created yet (Value null). Therefore, this block is a simple check that make sure position variable gets a value. When using position viewer block, I believe such condition is not mandatory as the iteration clears out empty variables and takes into account variables that has a value. Hope this clear enough for you.
Beside that, this 'NoValue' can be used for other variables to avoid useless checks and errors.
Cheers

Cheers Hello! I'm glad to ask this. From now on I will implement this solution into my strategies. Regards
