Indicator for last bar not drawing (OnBarUpdate not called)

[Anagoge]

I read this thread:

http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/vb/showthread.php?t=8897&highlight=last+bar

From there, it seems the last indicator bar not being drawn is expected until the next bar has started. In my case, I'm using end-of-day historical data (non-realtime), so it seems the last day in my historical data will never get an OnBarUpdate event called, since I don't know the next close until the end of the [next] day. Is there a some kind of workaround to get this calculation made and the indicator for today's bar drawn, because I need it to make a trade at that time rather than waiting until the next close? Setting "CalculateOnBarClose = false;" doesn't work for non-realtime historical data, according to my testing and the docs.

There is no workaround at this time unfortunately.

I see this is an old post, but was there ever a resolution to it? I was interested in scanning the end of day data to look for signals on the daily charts after hours for orders going into the next day.

This allows for backtesting, but not actual present day trading on the daily charts.

Hello neilgalloway,

Thank you for your post.

This is resolved in NinjaTrader 8 where you can set the Calculate option to OnEachTick or OnPriceChange and see the last bar on the chart call OnBarUpdate even if it is a historical bar and/or you are using an End Of Day feed.
