Adding Indicators/Timeframes

[Jeremytang]

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to force an internal indicator to CalcOnBarClose false when the main indicator is set to CalcOnBarClose true.

IE:

In the Initialize()

{
Add(PeriodType.Minute,5); /// <- I want an SMA on this timeframe to update on each tick instead of on the close of the 5 min bar
}

Explicitly setting the SMA's CalcOnBarClose to false value doesn't seem to work.

I suspect the SMA is only being fed data on the 5 minute on close of each bar.

jeremytang,

Generally, an indicator would inherit this setting from the indicator calling it.

The CalculateOnBarClose property of indicators embedded within a strategy are overriden by the CalculateOnBarClose property of the strategy for example.

Maybe someone else has a work around here to offer.
