Help mod indicator

[kabott]

Hi, i have a supertrend ive downloaded from one of the threads, i would like to make it lag, meaning recalculate 1 bar behind the open bar, like when its set to calculate on bar close, but working real-time.

ive tried many times but gets broken no idea what im doing wrong, thanks very much in advance!

The idea is to get the indicator to calculate on bar close, while the strategy calculates in realtime so it fills the orders realtime instead of waiting for the close of the candle

Hello kabott,

Thanks for your post.

A couple of alternatives are:

1) Add a 1 tick data series to your strategy and run it CalculateOnBarClose = true with your strategy logic pointing to the 1 tick series while the indicator runs off the primary bars. This will give your strategy logic an OnBarUpdate for each tic to process the orders while pointing to the previous bar in the indicator.

2) In your strategy, evaluate the indicator on bar index [1] instead of [0] (where 1 is the just completed bar and [0] is the bar forming, when CalculateOnbarClose = false.

Hi Paul, thanks for your response, i was going for the second alternative but the indicator seemed to brake every time, i tested several alternatives until it finally worked ok, now a new problem has emerged, i have this logic:

//FALLING TREND
if ( ( Close[1] < _superTrend.SPFlipper[1] )
&& ( Close[1] > _superTrend.SPCenterAverage[1] || Close[2] > _superTrend.SPCenterAverage[2] )
&& ( Close[3] > Open[3] && Close[2] > Open[2] && Close[1] < Open[1] && FirstTickOfBar ) )

SELL

With the intention once the conditions are met, the strategy should sell at the open of the second bearish renko bar



yet, it seems to be selling when ever it pleases, sometimes even at the third bearish bar

EDIT: ok i think i fixed it now.
