When are indicators updated?

[Camdo]

In a multi-instrument strategy working with real time tick data,

Initialize()
CalculateOnBarClose = false

OnBarUpdate()
{
if (FirstTickOfBar)
{
if(BarsInProgress == 0)
RSI(BarsArray[0], 14, 1)[0]; //Is this indicator in updated state?
}
}

Is it guaranteed that the indicator is in an updated state when the strategy reads the current value [0]?

If not, how can it be assured that it is?

It is not clear when indicators are updated in relation to the FirstTickOfBar becoming true and the strategy execution.

Hello Camdo,

Yes, plots will be updated. The exact alignment of multiple bar objects depends on which two series you're using and if accessing on historical or real time data. It helps to print the time stamps of all series so you can check this.

if (BarsInProgress == 0 && FirstTickOfBar)
Print("Primary Series Time Stamp: " + Time[0] + " Secondary Time Stamp: " + Times[1][0]);
