FirstTickOfBar

[DaveS]

Is the following conditional garuanteed to get executed on the first tick of every bar ?

if (FirstTickOfBar)
{
Some code
}

DaveS,

It will indeed do so.

[Mindset]

Caveat

If for instance you want to play a sound at the beginning of each new bar - other indicators with sounds/alerts will sometimes have higher priority/ run code first/ whatever and the sound WILL NOT play.

[DaveS]

Was trying to get part of an indicator to run every tick and another part to run only at bar close, ( well its bar open actualy of course ). Sometimes the code controlled by FirstTickOfBar does not run. I expect its a problem with my code.

DaveS,

Run with CalculateOnBarClose = false in real-time and just print every single tick. Then print FirstTickOfBar to see how it works.
