Is BackFill Data for OnBarUpdate()

[KhaosTrader]

Hi,

How can i determine if a bar is realtime or backfill? I need this because I am firing a TextToSpeech alert function, and I dont want it to fire on backfill data bars.

Thanks in advance.

Hello KhaosTrader,

Thanks for your post.

You can test for what state the indicator is in.

For example, in the OnBarUpdate() method you could:

if (State == State.Historical) return;

// live data only

//text to speech code here
