CalculateBarOnClose=False & nested indicators

[dom993]

Hi there,

I have 1 indicator ("Pattern") which uses another indicator ("Pivots"). "Pivots" doesn't set CalculateOnBarClose.

When CalculateBarOnClose is set to True for "Pattern", "Pivots".OnBarUpdate() is executed as soon as "Pattern".OnBarUpdate() uses "Pivots". Good & expected.

Now, I manually set CalculateBarOnClose to false for "Pattern" in the Indicator window. To my surprise, "Pivots".OnBarUpdate() is now executed AFTER "Pattern".OnBarUpdate() completes (which makes Pattern.OnBarUpdate() actually see the prior-bar value of "Pivots"). I did print the CalculateBarOnClose value in "Pivots", it says it is false (which I expected). How can this happen, and more importantly how can I make sure that "Pivots".OnBarUptade() is executed as soon as "Pattern".OnBarUpdate() makes use of "Pivots" ?

Note: I also tried to force CalculateOnBarClose=false in "Pivots".Initialize(), that doesn't change the processing order

Thanks in advance,
Dominique

dom993,

You could use Pivots.Update() to force the OnBarUpdate() method to be called from your Pattern indicator.

I.e.

//in pattern
private override void OnBarUpdate()
{

Pivots.Update();

//do everything else pattern does.

}

With CalculateOnBarClose = false, sometimes things can happen a little more asynchronously.

Adam,

Thank you, this does indeed work!
