Firsttick of bar

[tinkerz]

I am using timer function inside the update properties so i am not capturing this statement, so my if else is not working, how else can i check this is a the first call on a new bar?

Tinkerz,

When you are in OnBarUpdate() with CalculateOnBarClose = false, the first tick of a bar will always have FirstTickOfBar == true. If you are using your own timer and if your timer event does not land exactly on that first tick then unfortunately it will be false. All you need to look for is in OnBarUpdate() and just waiting for that first tick.

OK thanks, I need to control the updates as every tick processing will be too much and onbar close to slow

will have to find a way round it

looks like currentbar will have to do

thanks
