if(historical data is reloaded)

[b16_aln]

Hello,

Is there a way to reference if(historical data is reloaded) by either clicking on the right click relaod all data or when NT8 does it automatically e.g when reconnecting to data source?

If i can find a way of registering the reloaded event then I want to be abe to trigger an action before onbarupdate so what state would the action sit in for it to come after the reload trigger but before onbrupdate?

Thanks

Hello b16_aln,

Thank you for the post.

For the events you mentioned you wouldn't need to monitor for that, the script will just terminate and then reload like you just applied it for the first time. Any logic that needs to run before OnBarUpdate could be placed in State.DataLoaded or as the first logic for CurrentBar 0:

if(CurrentBar == 0)
{ 
    // run logic once
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks but this doe snot produce the required effect. I was hoping to be able to diffrenetiate and set different actions for restarting the code and specifically when a data reload occurs (i.e when a data reload is the cause of restarting the code, do different action.

Hello b16_aln,

To your script it would be unable to differentiate these actions, It also really should not perform differently for those two cases anyway as the reload is the same in the eyes of the script. In both cases the script needs to totally restart because of the change of data or manual reload request. it will start from the beginning and process the bars again.

If you can provide more specific details on why you need to differentiate here potentially there is a different way to accomplish that task.


Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.
