CalculateOnBarClose Daily bar

[Klaus Hengher]

Does CalculateOnBarClose = false work for daily bars ?
I have following issue.
My strategy calculates entry condition on close of daily bar. But in this case i can not place order on the same bar.
Is it possible treating close "X" minutes before the actual close and then executing order at the true close of the day ( "entry on close" opposite to "exit on close") ?

Hello Klaus Hengher,

Yes, you can use COBC = false for daily bars. It can process the logic while the bar is forming.

There's unfortunately no EndOfSession event you can work with. It all must be custom coded. In a real time environment, you may consider working off your computer clock with DateTime.Now

Thank you Ryan,

that is following code will not work for daily bars ?

if (Bars.FirstBarOfSession)
Bars.Session.GetNextBeginEnd(Time[0], out sessionBegin, out sessionEnd);

Hi Klaus, yes that would be unfortunately expected - the daily bars are not build by the local session templates, it will be whatever your provider uses for the source data.
