Knowing it is the last bar interation in OnBarUpdate()

[freewind]

Hi,

I'm doing a calculation inside OnBarUpdate() and want the result of the last bar to export to a file.
How can I know I'm in the last bar?
For example the first bar I can check with CurrentBar == 1 but how can I know I'm in the last iteration(bar)?

Thanks in advance,
Roy

Hello,

Thanks for your note.

So that I understand this correctly you want the last bar of the session.

You will want to use the following method:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/getnextbeginend.htm

This will get you the time of the end of the session.

Then you would in OnBarUpdate() check if it is equal to the time and then output your data that you need to export.

I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi Brett,

No I'm not looking for the last bar of the session but the last bar of the whole time frame.
For example if I'm using 365 days chart with my indicator I'll want to know the last bar on this year.
Is there a way to know it?

Thanks!

Hello,

Ok, but whats your definition of a full chart in this case? Just historical data?, as a chart doesnt just end when you have live data flowing into it will continue to form live. The below will output the historical data for the chart only and no live data.

Mabye this is more what your looking for, if (CurrentBar== Bars.Count -2)

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
