It would be Close[0], however this will only work if COBC = false; for (hopefully) obvious reasons

Price of Current Tick

What's COBC? Sorry, I'm new to Ninja Script.

Thanks.

COBC stands for calculate on bar close. This is one of the setup parameters for indicators. If you're new to Ninjascript it would be extremely beneficial to first study the educational material available. It will save you a ton of time in the end. I would start here:

You'll find basic programming technique, step by step tutorials, and a complete reference for all key words and commands.

Hello tiffanychan887,

Thank you for your post and thanks to coolmoss for the information here!

CalculateOnBarClose is always true for historical data (that includes backtesting). However, on real-time data you can set CalculateOnBarClose to false to update your calculations on each incoming tick and to send your orders to the tick rather than on the close of the bar.

For information on CalculateOnBarClose please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...onbarclose.htm

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