NTb7 FirstTickOfBar

[KBJ]

Workaround = check CurrentBar # and the first time it changes, have your own bool that switches to false.

Josh: Thanks ...

In fact, much earlier I used to check for CurrentBar to change, and then do my "first tick of bar" code and re-save the current value of CurrentBar, etc. (before I found that Ninja had a built-in FirstTickOfBar function.)

So, of course that would work.

I was just hoping I wouldn't have to go de-simplify my indicators that use this.

Oh, well.

Unfortunately that would be the way to proceed as this is currently a bug. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello,

Has this bug been fixed in the new beta8 ?

Thanks

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Yes, indeed.

Hello,

Do I do something wrong or this bug is not fixed in NT7 beta14.

I aded 3 data series (M1(last, primary), Tick(Ask), Tick(Bid).
I use this code:

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{


if (BarsInProgress ==0 && FirstTickOfBar) {
Print("New bar "+CurrentBar);
}

This code prints the same bar number everytime a new tick(bid) comes in.

Thank you for your efforts

The code snippet below works for a MultiSeries strategy for me here, please ensure you call FirstTickOfBar in proper context -

  protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			if (Historical)
				return;
			
			if (BarsInProgress == 0)
				if (FirstTickOfBar)
					Print("BIP0");
			
			if (BarsInProgress == 1)
				if (FirstTickOfBar)
					Print("BIP1");
        }

I'm sorry, but the code below in indicator does not work.

here is my code:
protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Tr0"));
Overlay = false;
CalculateOnBarClose = false;
Add(Instrument.FullName, PeriodType.Tick, 1,MarketDataType.Ask);
Add(Instrument.FullName, PeriodType.Tick, 1,MarketDataType.Bid);
}
protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Historical)
return;

if (BarsInProgress == 0)
if (FirstTickOfBar)
Print("BIP0");

}

Do you see any issues in the code?

Thanks,
Povilas

Povilas,

Let us take a step back and first check if you actually had historical bid/ask data. What data provider are you using? Do you see such a historical series to exist in your Historical Data Manager's Edit tab?

Hello, Josh,

We are using MBT data feed. Yes, we do have few days of data in ask/bid/last historical data.

But same thing is happening while running on historical and realtime data feed.

I just double checked and let me correct my statment. This problem exists only on real time data feed. Using historical data the code works as expected.

MBT API version is 11.5.0.5

This is a bug related to multiple data series connected to indicator.

FirstTickOfBar works without a problem If I remove both dataseries from indicator.

Thanks, I was able to reproduce here, we'll check into.
