OnBarUpdate() not called

[corrado]

Hi,

I've been testing and debugging the strategy with two time frames 5 min and daily. See the code below. I found out that when I add daily time frame to the main 5 min one the OnBarUpdate() is never called (for neither time frame 5 min nor daily) till the session end (17:15 for futures). Note, the code in OnBarUpdate() doesn't matter as the method is not called. I made sure there is enough historical data. Now, when I disable the second, daily time frame - problem disappears. Why?

protected override void Initialize()
{

this.Days2Load = 16;
this.BarsRequired = 8;

Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);
}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick).
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (this.CurrentBars[0] < 40
|| this.CurrentBars[1] < 8)
return; //Check if enough bars for indicators

//...
}

Try this, and look in the Output Window to let you know if you are cooking.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (this.CurrentBars[0] < 40 || this.CurrentBars[1] < 8)
{
Print(null);
Print("Entered the CurrentBars check block");
Print("cb0: " + CurrentBars[0]);
Print("cb1: " + CurrentBars[1]);
return; //Check if enough bars for indicators
 }
Print(null);
Print("Now we are cooking!");
Print("cb0: " + CurrentBars[0]);
Print("cb1: " + CurrentBars[1]);
//...             
 
}

If you are still never cooking, then look at your logs. That should tell you a story.

koganam,

Thank you for trying to help. Logging in the OnBarUpdate() doesn't help here as the method is simply not called when this line added to the Initialize method:
Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);
No useful info in the NinjatTrader's log found.
