Question about OnBarUpdate()

[misotrader]

Here's my code:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    // Prints the current bar time stamp
    Print(Time[0].ToString());
}

Since CalculateOnBarClose is set to true as default, it's supposed to only print on the close of each bar. However, the output window continuously prints timestamps even the bar is not closed. Am i missing something?

Hello misotrader,

May we have a screenshot of the parameters for this indicator as its set on the chart?
(So we can confirm that CalculateOnBarClose is set to True)

Do you have a secondary series added to your script in Initialize()?

[misotrader]

Sure

Hi misotrader,

Thank you. This screenshot shows that a secondary data series has not been added to the script.

May we have a screenshot of the parameters for this indicator as its set on the chart?
Right-click the chart -> select Indicators... -> select the Indicator -> take a screenshot
(So we can confirm that CalculateOnBarClose is set to True)

Also, may we have the output from the output window?
Right-click the Output window -> select Save As... -> give the file a name and save location

Somehow the chart did not pick up the updated parameter even it's compiled and rerun.
I explicitly set CalculateOnBarClose to true in chart -> Indicators, now it works!

Hi misotrader,

The default values set in Initialize() are only used when adding a new instance of the indicator to the chart. (So that if you change these values, it does not undo your changes)
