BarsArray - BarsInProgress

[tonynt]

Hello,

thank you for your reply.

When I understand right then your suggestion is the same as I have written now here in the last post(?)

Thanks
Tony

Adam,

Things could be much easier if the BarsInProgress 'index' could optionally be put inside the brackets of the OnBarUpdate() method (e.g., OnBarUpdate(0)).

That way you could eliminate the need to set up the IF conditional statement and just separate code under the appropriate call. Making it an option would maintain compatibility with existing code.

Do you know if there are any other similarly called methods (OnExecution(), OnOrderUpdate(), OnStartup(), OnConnection) which have indexes. And also, how does the BarsInProgress index work inside these other methods?

@tony,

if i understand adam correctly, he is saying this:
- use && (BarsInProgress == 0) in your if statement surrounding each and every Action taken (enter short, exit long, etc.)
- use additional conditions in your if statement, referencing any Bars[x] you like
- do not include && (BarsInProgress == x) where x is any number other than 0
- do not include && (BarsInProgress != 0)

by including (BarsInProgress == 0), you are only firing your order execution for each incoming tick of the primary dataseries.

@borland - that is a nice suggestion to add an overload to OnBarUpdate that will take an index.

cheers,
