COBC - FirstTickOfBar - Syntax

[tonynt]

Hello,

I found in a strategy and an indicator COBCfalse in Onstartup but in OnBarUpdate there is if(CalculateOnBarClose)

I have 2 questions please:

* is if(CalculateOnBarClose) the same as if(FirstTickOfBar)?

* why having in OnStartup COBCfalse and then in OnBarUpdate if(CalculationOnBarClose) - which I do understand as "COBCtrue" (if I interprete correctly)

Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

It is not suggested to try and toggle CalculateOnBarClose from any other state than Initialize, this can and likely will have repercussions on how the script performs if you set it in any other override.

The CalculateOnBarClose property is not the same as FirstTickOfBar, these are two different names so they would be two separate properties for two different uses.

"why having in OnStartup COBCfalse and then in OnBarUpdate if(CalculationOnBarClose) - which I do understand as "COBCtrue" (if I interprete correctly)"

Are you asking about something you had seen in some code? can you provide context for this question? if you are asking about specifically CalculationOnBarClose, this is a bool property so it can be used logically: if(CalculationOnBarClose). Again it is not recommended to set CalculateOnBarClose from any state other than Initialize, you can read this from other states.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
