Start processing from X bars ago

[PeterBear]

If I use the following the code below it only runs for real time data
if (Historical)
return;

What if I want to start the processing starting X bars before the latest bar. How can I do that?
Can't find the answer in the ver7 help guide.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your post.

Count will contain the current total number of bars on a chart. If you compare CurrentBar to Count you could start processing only so many bars from current. For example, if you only want to process the 20 most recent bars of a chart, you could use:

if (CurrentBar > (Count - 20))

Please let me know if I can assist with anything further.

Thank you. Got it going now..

OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Historical)
return;
run blah blah - real time here
}

OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar < (Count - 20)) //note <
return;
run blah blah - starting at 20 bars from the latest bar
}
