Returns a numerical value, indicating the number of bars since the initial entry into the specified position.

==Usage==
<syntaxhighlight>BarsSinceEntry_Checked(PosBack)</syntaxhighlight>

Where:

:'''PosBack''' - a numerical expression, specifying the position:

::'''0''' - open position;

::'''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.

== Notes ==
:# This function can only be used in signals.
:# If PosBack value is greater that the real number of previously opened positions, '''BarsSinceEntry_Checked''' will generate an error.

==Example==
Assign a value, indicating the number of bars since the current position has been entered, to Value1 variable:
<syntaxhighlight>Value1= BarsSinceEntry_Checked;</syntaxhighlight>

Assign a value, indicating the number of bars since the most recently closed position has been entered, to Value1 variable:
<syntaxhighlight>Value1= BarsSinceEntry_Checked (1); </syntaxhighlight>
