LineBreak bar type

[gg80108]

When I use LineBreak Bars. I have Calculate on Bar Close set to true, it calculates on every tic rather then when the bar is actually closed(a new bar created)..

Hello gg80108,
The calculate on bar close property will not apply on the BarType but on the indicator (or strategy) which is applied on it (i.e. on the bar series).

In the attached screenshot I have the SMA indicator applied on it with Calculate on bar close set to true. As expected it is not calculating the value of the running bar.

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

Here is how i ran into this, I am checking for a higher high or lower low on a closing bases (Close[0],Close[1], as an exit strategy after entering a position . This works ok on normal like minute,tic,vol, bars, checks when the bar closes only (which is when the new bar appears) But with LineBreak bars it seems to check immediately after entry on every tic and usually stop out on the same bar..

*The "toy" just means something that is a stripped down version that isn't necessarily the whole logic. It makes things easier to rout out.
