AddChartIndicator()

[eleven]

I have added an indicator to my strategy with AddChartIndicator during state.configure.

I would like my strategy to calculate on bar close and my indicator to calculate on price change. Is it possible to do this?

Thanks,

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

In this case I don't believe this would be possible. Because the Strategy controls the indicators Calculate setting, it would also be on Bar close.

Potentially you could use OnEachTick instead. In the strategy you could filter logic based on the IsFirstTickOfBar which could essentially represent the bar close, and in the indicator you could compare the Close price to a stored variable to check if the price had changed to complete logic. In theory this could potentially work, but depending on the logic this could also cause problems. This would also assume the indicator gets called for each tick, if it was called from the IsFirstTickOfBar logic it would only be called sometimes which may not be when the price changes.

Outside of creating your own logic to handle the situation using OnEachTick, I could not see a way this would be possible.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
