if my indicator is set to CalculateOnBarClose = true

[kaywai]

can my strategy be on a CalculateOnBarClose = false?

Happy to keep the indicator running at CalculateOnBarClose though...but would like my entry and money management to run "live".

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

You can however you want to code this into your strategy to reference it as COBC = false (You want all COBC to match or you will run into issues). Then only access the indicator balue on if (FirstTickOfBar) and store the value of the indicator you need for access on all other ticks so it is the same until the next bar close and use that in your COBC=false strategy.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi Brett,

Can FirstTickOfBar be used in hourly or minute bars?

Alternatively, if COBC = true, when will Open[0] be calculated? At the start or the end of the current bar?

Kay Wai, FirstTickOfbar can be used in hourly/minute charts, but I believe you need to do so with COBC = false.

If COBC = true, Open[0] will be calculated (revealed by the next OnBarUpdate()) at the close of the bar.
