Detecting a new bar with OnBarClose=false

[TiggerTrader]

How do you determine when a new bar is starting when you are using OnBarClose=false?

I'm running an strategy that needs to look at the formation of the current bar and then reset some variables when the next new bar opens.

Hello,

You should find CurrentBar to be of great use here: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...currentbar.htm

You can just check to see if CurrentBar has increased from the previous time called using a storage variable.

Additionally consider reading up on CurrentBars and Count.

And depending on your overall goals this might be worth looking into as well: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h....html?bars.htm

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Look up FirstTickOfBar in NT Help.
