I am developing a multiple time frame indicator which uses a 5 minutes and 30 minutes time frame. The script is applied to a 5 minute chart, and I use Add(PeriodType.Minute,30); for the 30 minutes time frame.
I noticed while troubleshooting that every 30 minutes the OnBarUpdate() section is being parsed twice: once for the 5 minute bar that just completed, and then another time for the 30 minutes bar that just completed. Add another time frame using Add(PeriodType.Minute,60); and the parsing is done three times every hour.
While printing the values of Stochastics %K on the debuging window I noticed that the first parse gives a correct %K value for the 5 minute time frame. On 2nd parse, an invalid %K that comes from I don't know where is calculated again. This generates bad signal (arrows up or down) on my chart.
The question: Is there a way to specify, in the OnBarUpdate() section that I want the script to exit ( return ) whenever the OnBarUpdate is applied to the 30 minute bar?
Thanks in advance.
