Adam/Ryan,

need to know two things:
1. As I explained above about my MA/indicator , If I've 10 stocks (rows) and 5 columns (5m/15m...)
how many instances of my indicator will be runing ?.
2. I need to run the pivot check to do a calculation but only once I need to do this, how do I control this in onBarUpdate() only once per session, if possible.
here is the code I'm using as a call in the onBarUpdate()

private void getPivotValue(){

if (Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.DailyBars, 0, 0, 0, 20).PP.ContainsValue(0))
{
// Prints the current pivot point value
pivotPP = Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.DailyBars, 0, 0, 0, 20).PP[0];
Print(Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name+"pivot is " + pivotPP.ToString());

}
}// end

1) A separate instance will be created for each instrument and interval. Looks like 50 in your case.

2) Any calculations that you need done only once per session could be done during Bars.FirstBarOfSession

need a little help with the multi-time coding:
instead of accessing/checking with BarsInProgress flag can I use BarsPeriod.Value flag to check and
process ?.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Unfortunately BarsInProgress can't be substituted by checks to the BarsPeriod - you would need to know which series triggered the OnBarUpdate() call and this feedback is received with BarsInProgress.

all i have in my strategy to draw an arrow if it is an end of session bar. but it is only drawing for last 30 days where i have 44 days loaded in my chart.I set the lookback period to infinite, must be missing a simple thing. help

kinshin9 - Sorry not sure. Please feel free to post a screenshot of your chart and a simple code snippet showing what you're trying to do.

Ryan,

here is the simple code and attached is the image, drawing Magenta down arrow at every end of the session bar starting from 7/8 until 6/21 and ignoring the earlier days. I even made look back to infinite
in my strategy.
here is the code:
if(Bars.LastBarOfSession)
DrawArrowDown("dwnarrow"+ CurrentBar , false, 0, High[0]+0.3, Color.Magenta);

Hello kinshin9,
Please change the BarsRequired property to say 0 (zero) from the default 20 and see if you are still getting the same result or not.

Please refer to our help guide to know more about it.
