Condition for new Session start

[yubo27]

My backtest program recalculates variables whenever a new Session starts, for historical bars.

Is there a straightforward way to specify this condition?

Thanks.

Hello yubo27,

You can you the "Bars.FirstBarOfSession" to be able to find out which bar is the start of a new session.

Condition if(Bars.FirstBarOfSession) in OnBarUpdate gives error "Cannot convert method group 'IsFirstBarOfSession' to non-delegate type 'bool'. Did you intend to invoke the method? CS0428".

What's the correct way to refer to Bars object in OnBarUpdate ?

Got it.

Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession(0)

Hello yubo27,

You can do the following statement:

// At the start of a new session
if (Bars.FirstBarOfSession)
{
	//Do something
}

The following link you may use as a reference that uses the "Bars.FirstBarOfSession".
