Question with OnBarUpdate()

[g22715]

Suppose I have a strategy trading on 1min bar series of ES and my session is set as 12:00-12:00. CalculateOnBarClose is set to true.

ES trading is stopped between 16:15 and 16:30 ET. Do I receive calls of OnBarUpdate() during this time period?

Welcome to our forums - NinjaTrader is event based, so if the market is down in this period and no ticks are received then you would not see an OnBarUpdate() call during this time.

update frequency when set to FALSE

Hi NT_

.I have a weekly indicator with calculateonbarclose set to FALSE; can i adjust or update the (check) frequency of the times it will update the values? I do not need for it to update on every "tick", but also do not want to wait until the BAR closes...(daily/weekly/monthly)

for instance; update twice a week for weekly values... (twice a month for monthly values.... twice a day for daily values....)




using NT6.5 with sessions 12:00am to 12:00am

Hello mystiq,

Yes, this is possible. You still want to use COBC = false, but within OnBarUpdate you add an additional filter to control when you wants things processed. This could be with a timer object or something you custom code. This sample can help using timer objects:
