OnBarUpdate for the last bar

[ivannp]

I was trying to use NT to compute information for the next trading day after the close is registered. My approach was to implement it as a strategy. Am quite disappointed to find out that OnBarUpdate is not called for the last bar. Is there a workaround?

Ivan, this would depend on the CalculateOnBarClose setting used, on false you should see the last tick of the current bar being processed and thus your OnBarUpdate called (eventhough bar technically is not closed yet).

Is "CalculateOnBarClose" available for strategies? I can't find it if so.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Yes, available for both indicators and strategies.

You can set it either from the code Initialize or directly from the UI.

Fantastic, thanks! I can't find it in the UI for strategies, but changing it in the code worked.

Great - from the UI please check into the General section, right under the account selector.
