barupdate vs onbarclose

[junkone]

if i have a custom indicator that was intended
CalculateOnBarClose = true;


. i use it in a strategy which has
CalculateOnBarClose = false;
Would the indicator values still be calculate on Barclose or will it be calculcated intrabar.

junkone, the strategy setting should override it - however there's currently a known bug in this. Please remove any CalculateOnBarClose statements from the indicators referenced by your strategy and only set this from the strategy itself.

#1. i am exploding again with anger that there is no repository of bugs that i can refer to before coding. its just a waste of time to code stuff and finally find that you have bugs in them. i would like to escalate this prob to someone senior in your organisation.

#2. my strategy does runs tick by tick and uses many indicators. There are a few indicators that the strategy uses by referring to the value on close for eg. CCI(14)[1]

how do i ensure that these indicators are only calculated on bar close. this would ensure that there is no unecessary tick by tick processing for such indicators.

We're sorry for any inconvenience caused by this, I agree keeping a 'known bugs' list is very useful - I'll forward this request to developement.

As a workaround you need to call anything that needs to evaluated at the close in

 
if (FirstTickOfBar) 
{
your conditions to be evaluated on bar close = true
}

and then reference one bar more back in your conditions to make up for calling it on the open tick.

can you describe what is the bug here.

Hello,

I will have Bert post a reply on Monday.

The bug is the CalculateOnBarClose setting of the referenced indicator(s) would not be properly overwritten by the calling indicator or strategy. Therefore we advise to remove those calls from the referenced indicators for now as a workaround.
