Updated bar data

[shmuelv]

Hi,

In my strategy, I rely on the low of the first 15 minute candle to determine position management action. So I wait until 9:45:01 NY time, and then look on the low of the last 15 min bar (let's say Lows[2][1]), however the low value that I get is the low of last 15 min. candle of the previous trading day. Can you please help? is there a way to make sure the data I look at is the updated and latest one?

Thanks
Shmuel

shmuel,

Likely you will want to use "Calculate on bar close" set to false here.

Then Low[0] is always the latest value.

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your answer. However, I don't want to use the current lowest value, but by 15 minutes candle low value. Meaning, even at 19:50:00, I would like to use the low of last 15 minute candle.

Hello shmuelv,
Thanks for your note and I am replying for Adam.

The primary bars gets updated first and then the secondary series. What value you get depends on the sequencing of the bars and how you call it.

To assist you further can you please send a toy NinjaScript code* replicating the behavior to support[AT]ninjatrader[DOT]com

Please append Attn:Joydeep in the subject line of the email and give a reference of this thread in the body of the email.

I look forward to assisting you further.

*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.
