calculateonbarclose true for one timeframe and false for another

[dodoei]

Is the following idea possible?

If I have a strategy that has two timeframes for one instrument, for example a 1 min series and a 5 min series for the same instrument, can I calculate indicators based on the close of the 1 min bar and at the same time some other indicators based on the current tick (new progressing bar) for the 5 min?

In another word, whenever the 1 min has a closed bar, I calculate sth and at the same time I'll look at the progressing 5 min bar even it's not closed yet.

Thanks.

Hello Dodoei,

Thank you for your post.

While, you wouldn't be able to change the CalculateOnBarClose for those timeframes you can use FirstTickOfBar and BarsInProgress to separate out the new bar and the timeframe that you want.
