How to get Open, High, Low, Close values on uncompleted bar if Calculate.OnBarClose?

[fx.practic]

Hello.

If indicator (or strategy) work with Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose, but need High and Low prices of very last uncompleted bar - how can it be accessed?

In NT7 it was simple: High[-1], Low[-1].
But, NT8 generate exception.
So, what is correct way?

High.GetValueAt( CurrntBar+1) ?

Hello fx.practic,

Thanks for opening the thread.

Since Calculate.OnBarClose iterates OnBarUpdate() after the bar has closed, there would not be an iteration happening while the bar is developing and you would not be able to reference the bar while it is developing.

The advised solution would be to use Calculate.OnEachTick to get the value of the developing bar.

You could use logic to in OnBarUpdate() to make the NinjaScript perform certain actions on each tick, and you can also restrict your logic to perform on the first tick of a bar.

Using Calculate.OnEachTick with IsFirstTickOfBar can give you effectively the same results as Calulcate.OnBarClose if you look at the previous bar on that first tick of a new bar.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    // Only process entry signals on a bar by bar basis (not tick by tick)
    // This can mimic Calculate.OnBarClose
    if (IsFirstTickOfBar)
    {
        Print(Close[1]);
    }

    // All other code will process witch each tick
    Print(Close[0]);
}

Please let me know if I can be of further help.
