[amibroker] How to calculate time since trade entry/exits in custom backtester

["tiedemj" <home@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi - trying to calculate the time in bars (or days) since a trade
was exited in the custom backtester. So what I would like to do is:

maxBars = 30;
for(bar=0; bar<BarCount; bar++)
{
   for( trade=bo.GetFirstTrade(); trade; trade=bo.GetNextTrade() )
   {
     if (bar - trade.ExitBar < maxBars)
       {
       //doSomething with recent trades
       }
   }
}

however "ExitBar" is not a valid property of tradeObject. Only
ExitDateTime. But DateTime format seems difficult to do timespan
calculations on (unless I missed something). Any suggestions on how
to go about it?

Thanks - and Best regards

Jens Tiedemann
