Falling(), Rising() on bars before

[symphys]

I'm using CalculateOnBarClose=false as I need tick based data. The only way to know if a bar has closed is by using FirstTickOfBar.

So if I do understand correctly Falling() and Rising() methods use the current bar and the previous one. But since I'm already in a new bar when I can call them, am I correct that the calculation is based on the current first tick and the last close?

If yes this is not what I need. I need the close of the last bar in comparison to the one before!
How can that be done?


Thanks for help!

You need something like this:

if(FirstTickOfBar)
{
if(Close[1] > Close[2]) DoSomethingHere; //is Rising
else if(Close[1] < Close[2] DoSomethingElseHere; //is Falling
else DoTheOtherThingHere; //is Flat
}

Thanks! I figured it wouldn't work with those functions.

Since I wanted to use EMA, how can I get the EMA value for the last two bars?

if(EMA(Close,7)[1] > EMA(Close,7)[2])
