What events get fired when switching instruments/switching bar periods?

[funk101]

When in the chart, and I switch from ES to (say) ZB, what event gets fired? Same question for when changing from 5 minutes bars to 30 minutes, for instance.

funk101,

Do you mean events in indicators / strategies? When a chart or timeframe is changed the strategies and indicators get reset and so the whole sequence would fire again.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

I'm working with an indicator, but I would imagine the same happens in a strategy.
So the order of events would be:

- OnTermination()
- Dispose() ?
- Initialize()
- OnStartUp()

funk,

Yes, with the exception that Dispose() is not recommended to be overridden, and it can be called later than expected.

From our help guide :

Note: Please do NOT overload the Dispose() method. Dispose() method could be triggered much later than expected resulting in resources not being released early enough.
