first tick of bar

[ballboy11]

I am having an issue with first tick of bar. I am not sure if I am doing it correctly.

protected override void Initialize()
{
Overlay = true;
CalculateOnBarClose = false ;

}


/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (CurrentBar == Bars.Count - 2)
{
int nCount = this.list.Count;
bool bPriceFound = false;

if (FirstTickOfBar == true)
{
// print my information
}
else
{
// collect information
}


the issue is it is always printing and never collecting information. It never goes to the the else statement

}

Hello ballboy11,

Thank you for your note.

When a bar is first created the open of that bar is the first tick of that bar, so every bar should meet your condition.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

I understand but on a minute chart or a 5 minute etc it is still going through the firsttickof bar everytick

if (FirstTickOfBar == true)
{


Print("in first tick of bar " + Time[0]);
}


look at the picture below on the output this is on a 1 minute chart

Hello ballboy11,

May I confirm that the output window you've shared a picture of is a minute chart rather than a tick chart? I am unable to replicate with a minute chart but when I use a tick chart my results match what you've posted.

I look forward to your reply.
