How to get indicator to restart count daily?

[tjendra]

I was wondering how do I get the indicator to restart its count based on the data at the start of the new daily session rather than looking backward to the previous day data? Coz when I do intraday trades during the strategy backtesting, I get some false indicator signals in the opening hours.

Restart count of what? You could reset anything you want to reset when you start a new session.

Basically it is to restart the count of all the indicators that I use in my strategy when the new session begins.

So I will just have to add if (Bars.SessionBreak) to cover my previous code in strategy and the indicators will start counting afresh during a new session?

You just want to reset any counter you have back to 0 when you have a session break. You do not want to blanket your whole code with such an if-statement.

It is actually not a counter but some indicator I use in my strategy. I illustrate what I am trying to do in the attached pic.

tjendra,

In that case there is no clear way to proceed. You would have to reset your indicator states through the indicator code at each new session break. Whether this means setting all your variables back to 0 I could not say. Even then, it looks like some MA indicator so setting back to 0 wouldn't help since you are still processing historical bars. You will need to tweak your indicator logic to compensate for what you want.

Is there some way to get the indicator to start plotting after a certain number of bars has passed so that it wouldn't get the values from the previous day and enough bars are produced for the indicator to start a new calculation?

No, you will need to rework the indicator logic.
