Usage

PosTradeEntryBar(PosAgo,TradeNumber)

Where:

PosAgo - a numerical expression, specifying the position:

0 - open position;

1 - one position back (the last position closed);

2 - two positions back, etc.

TradeNumber - a numerical expression, specifying the number of trade (zero-based).

Notes

This function can only be used in signals.
To retrieve the total number of trades in specified position use PosTradeCount.
Use PosTradeExitBar to get the bar number of the bar on which the exit order happened.
