- 1 - one position back (the last position closed);
- 2 - two positions back, etc.
If PosBack is not specified, a value for the open position will be returned.

- Use BarsSinceExit to get the number of bars since exiting a specified position.
Example

Value1 = BarsSinceEntry;
Assign the number of bars since the most recently closed position has been entered to variable Value1:
Value1 = BarsSinceEntry(1);
