BarClose event?

[Chippy]

Sorry for the basic question but I'm not finding this in the NinjaScript docs.

How can I detect when a bar closes, if I have Calculate.OnPriceChange set? Maybe I'm going about this wrong. I can't seem to find any events that seem to apply better than OnBarUpdate().

I need the higher resolution data of the OnPriceChange for some of my calls. But other classes need to be called once and only once, after the BarClose event.

Hello Chippy,

Thank you for your post.

Couple of options here:

You can save the CurrentBar index to a variable, and then compare the saved value to the CurrentBar value on each price change. If it's different, you'll know it's the first update of the new bar.

You can also use IsFirstTickOfBar with OnPriceChange and this will return true with the first run through OnBarUpdate of each bar:

Perfect, thank you. The IsFirstTickOfBar seems a little more elegant.

I'm really loving this product.
