Only processing tick BIP if system has a position.

[GKonheiser]

Hi,

Is it possible to do this, I don't see any reason why not but just checking,

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
{
if(BarsInProgress == 2) // Tick bars
{
//Logic
}
}
}


so only processing tick bars if there is a position, so to lessen the CPU load when there is no position? Does it make sense to do this?

Thx

GKonheiser, you could certainly do that if you only need it for that script part when a position is on, however the series would be loaded still and calling OnBarUpdate() per CalculateOnBarClose setting. Just your OnBarUpdate() logic would dicate then if there's any action / logic executed or not.
