set timing of indicator calcs

[stafe]

i want to change some alert calculations from
if (IsFirstTickOfBar)
{ calcs; return; }
to a point where the bar isn't completely finished on a volume bar chart
i'm not sure of the syntax
would it be
if (Bars.PercentComplete => .75)
{ calcs; return; }
for doing the calcs at the 75% complete point
this would be on the chart default input Data Series with no other added Data Series



thanks,

Hello stafe,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, Bar.PercentComplete can be used (with Calculate.OnEachTick) to trigger when >= 0.75.

If you only want to trigger once per bar, you can use a check of the current bar, for example:

if (Bars.PercentComplete >= 0.75 && CurrentBar != savedBar)
{
Print ("CB: "+CurrentBar+" Time: "+DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString());
savedBar = CurrentBar; // do this once per bar
}

Where savedBar is a previously declared int type variable to hold the current bar number when the PercentComplete is triggered.

If you want a chart visualization you can download and add this indicator that will allow you to set a visual alert (option to sound) at a specific volume value: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...d=7&linkid=983
