Hello edward_bell,

Thanks for your post.

Can you provide more context to your question as there is not enough info to assist with? Can you further describe what you are trying to do?

Is the question pertaining to an indicator or strategy script? If so have you added the 5 minute data series to it?

It is an indicator running on 1 minute chart and I already added the 5 minute time frame in the Initialize section. I just want to know if the bar is the last close historical bar in 5 minute chart.

Hello edward_bell,

Thanks for your reply.

Assuming that the 5 minute data series is the only added data series. If you are running with CalculateOnbarClose = true then you can refer to the close of the last historical bar with Closes[1][0] where 1 refers to the 5 minute added data series and [0] refers to the last completed 5 minute bar.

If you are using CalculateOnBarClose = false, and connected to live or replay data, then use Closes[1][1] where the first 1 refers to the 5 minute data series and the second 1 will refer to the last completed bar of the 5 minute data series. Note that in this case Closes[1][0] would refers to the currently forming 5 minute bar.
