How work with new tick

[walterwest]

Hello,
I start strategy (settings on pictere)

In code i write string word to file
string str= System.Convert.ToString(GetCurrentAsk())+System.Co nvert.ToString(GetCurrentBid())+"i"+CurrentBar;
But tick start from 20th bar and go up. how can i see last tick in 0 bar?

Welcome to our forums, please set the min bars required to 0 and then reload the strategy on your chart.

Thanks,

[walterwest]

Thank you for answer.
Now strategy start from 0 bar, and go back -2 3 4 5 6 but I want that my robot count only new tick in real time.
How can I do this?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

If you want your strategy to work in realtime ony, try returning out of the OnBarUpdate() if it's called for historical data - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...historical.htm

I add this code, but then I have not evens.
And I don't saw new ticks on my chart, it is ok?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Walter, you would get no events then on historical data, the strategy would start working then on the first realtime bar (CalculateOnBarClose = true).

[walterwest]

It is work.
Thank you very much.
But I see more ticks on chart, than events in strategy, why?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

You're welcome, I'm not sure what exactly you're comparing to eachother to determine the events you see, could you please explain?

[walterwest]

I thought that 1tick=1 event - OnBarUpdate
But really I see in file 2-3 ticks per minute, not more


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Historical) return;
string str= System.Convert.ToString(GetCurrentAsk())+System.Co nvert.ToString(GetCurrentBid());
...//write str to file
}

Are you sure the strategy runs with CalculateOnBarClose = false in realtime? This would give you an OnBarUpdate() call on each tick / trade.

[walterwest]

I have got confused =(
I make CalculateOnBarClose = false.
Magic, chart draw all bars in real time and I have all tick in my strategy, but tonight it was stop and I can't switch on it again.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Walter, sorry I'm not sure I follow you - what errors are you getting when you restart the strategy?

For historical data CalculateOnBarClose = false has no effect, it would always be true since the intrabar formation is not known, only the OHLCV of the underlying series.

[walterwest]

I don't understand, how open chart, which will draw bars in real-time. I do this once tomorow, but do not know how.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Walter, it will depend on your session template in NT7 - per default NinjaTrader uses the cash hours of the instruments, for continuous 24 hrs data display (all available data) please try selecting the Default 24/7 session template on your charts, then apply the strategy with CalculateOnBarClose set to false.

[walterwest]

My template is Default 24/7.
My instrument 6E.
