Partial Calculate On Bar Close

[TrendTracker]

I've developed an indicator that has several plots. For the most part I want the indicator plots to update real-time (Claculate on Bar Close = False). But there are certain aspects of the plot that I want updated only on the close of the bar.

Tradestation's EL does this by determining if the incoming tick is occuring WITHIN the bar or on the CLOSE of the bar. Is NinjaScript capable of determining such conditions? If so, how would I set this up as an if/then condition?

Thank you in advance.

Bob,

The closing of a bar is the same event as the opening of a new bar. You can check for this by doing if (FirstTickOfBar). When you are receiving the first tick of a bar, the previous tick was the last tick of the prior bar and that means accessing Open[1], Close[1], etc. would be for the just closed bar.

Bob,

If you want some lines updated continously and other lines updated at bar close, place two instances of the same indicator in the same panel.

Make one calculate on bar close to false, the other to true.

Change color to invisible what you dont want to see on each instance.

If you want to do this in a strategy, you need to build seperate unique versions of the indicator.

If this configuration is what you are looking for, be sure to save it as a template so you don't have to rebuild it every time.

Good Luck,

RJay
