Force call to OBU()

[savekad]

I have a script which adds additional bars object to the chart.

I want OBU() to fire for the primary bars object, after the last fire of OBU() for the added bars object. Is that possible?

Something like that:

if (BarsInProgress == 1 && CurrentBar == Count - 1)
{
done = true
}

if (done)
{
// fire OBU for Bars[0]
}

savekad,

You could force something like this to happen for added data series only. Things like Closes[X][Y] would still be getting updated not in the order you want since it happens under the hood.

Here is something you may be able to exploit a little :

EMA(15).Update() //forces an onbarupdate call

I have an indicator which calculates values for several time intervals.

Do you think it will be better to divide it into several indicators that each one handles a singe time frame and by that be able to call each at a specific order?

savekad,

These still get pegged to the bars under the hood according to the following :

You could try forcing an OBU call by using something like :

EMA(15).Update()

But you wouldn't really be able to control forcing one OBU to occur before another in every instance. Note in the link I gave you above the bar updates behave differently if you use "CalculateOnBarClose = false". You might be able to exploit that to do what you want.
