CrossAbove() tick vs bar

[junkone]

I am trading 5 minute bars.
for eg if USD.JPY-IDEALPRO-CASH is 2 minutes into the bar with values open 93.03 and a bar high 93.1 current close value if 93.06. i enter a strategy with crossAbove(C,93.09, 0) it automatically opens the trade.
i would expect the trade to open after the tick closes above 93.09 after i start the strategy.

Hi junkone,

On which CalculareOnBarClose setting are you running your strategy?

CalculateOnBarClose = false; is the setting i have on initialize. however i would like to ensure that you understood my point correctly.

1. i dont want to wait till bar close before it acts on the cross over
2. i would expect NT to act on the ticks after the strategy has been started and not the ticks before the strategy had been started even though they are part of the same bar.

1. If you don't want to wait your setting of CalculateOnBarClose = false will do it.

2. All strategies always run on all data on the chart. If you do not wish this you need to add yourself a condition at the top of your OnBarUpdate() method.

     return;
