      I would like to keep track of the time I am currently in the trade. I know that the trade object has a barlen attribute. I would like to check for it in the next() method of the Strategy. How do I do it?

        I was doing the following:

            def notify_trade(self, trade):
        
                if trade.justopened:
                    self.trade_length = 0
        
                if trade.isclosed:
                    self.trade_length = None
        
        
            def next(self):
        
                    pos = self.getposition()
        
                    if pos:
                        self.trade_length += 1
