determine the last historical bar

[styx2000]

Hello,

I developed an indicator which takes a long time on every "OnBarUpdate".

I would like to test it on historical data, but i only want it to run on the last bar (the most current one).

I can test it on live data with "if (Historical) return;", but as i said i need to test it on historical data of different time frames as well.

I found the idea of checking "if (Double.IsNaN(Close[-1]))", but i cant get it to work, it just seems to quit when it reaches the last bar, even when it is surrounded by a try/catch block.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: for reproducing, this is what i tried last:

try{
Print(CurrentBar + " testing " + Close[-1]);
}catch(Exception e){
Print ("exception at " + CurrentBar + " " + e.ToString() );
}

Hello styx2000,

Thank you for your post.

You could use CurrentBar-2 here with Count to look at the last historical bar before the current bar:

if(CurrentBar-2 == Count && Historical)
{
//Do something
}

For information on Count please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h.../nt7/count.htm

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