Question about Calculate on Bar close

[slowhand]

Hi,

Can someone told me how I can set the Stochastic Color Indicator to
"calculate on bar close" and the Woodie CCI Indicator to "real time" in the
Strategy Setup.

Seems like I can only setup both to bar close or not.


Thanks in advance for your help

Hi slowhand, you are correct: there is one setting for the complete strategy.

Along those same lines, I was just going to make a new thread. If I have an indicator consisting of two or three different indicators, is there a was to have one update on bar close when the other one or two are set to CalculateOnBarClose = false;?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Hi eDanny, to realize this you would set all CalculateOnBarClose to false in the embedded / called indicators. Whichever you want to process on CalculateOnBarClose = True you call with if (FirstTickOfBar) and adjust your trading logic to reference one bar back.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I have the same problem. But I can't just have the strategy to reference one bar back because the result of my custom indicator will be different for CalculateOnBarClose=true vs false.

In other words, just by running the custom indicator, I need the CalculateOnBarClose set to TRUE to produce the correct result.

Pls advice.

If you are using your indicator and a strategy using the same code you would have the indicator set to CalculateOnBarClose=true, but the strategy to CalculateOnBarClose=false and then test for the condition on the close of the last bar with if(FirstTickOfBar). Then take the appropriate action.

Thanks eDanny, that's the way to go.
