indicator with COBC on a daily chart

[td_910]

Hi,

I have a custom indicator, that is coded using COBC. It has 3000+ lines of code, does extensive calculations and draws a lot of objects on the chart.
The signals/drawing objects for the last bar on the chart appear when the next bar opens, as you know, which would be the open of the day of the next day.

At the moment I have to set that indicator to calculate on price change after the market has closed to see the signals for the last bar.
Is there a permanent workaround for that?

Best regards
Thomas

Hello td_910,

Thank you for your post.

You could try setting the indicator to calculate OnPriceChange, and then modifying most of your logic to calculate on the first tick of the bar. You could then use a SessionIterator to find the end time of the session, and compare that time to the current bar time - if the current bar time coincides with the end of the session, calculate that bar only using OnPriceChange. This would likely require you to change references in your script to reference the previous bar when calculating on the first tick of the newly forming bar, which may be quite a bit of work given you've said this is a rather large indicator.

It's likely simpler overall to set it to OnPriceChange once the market ends, but it would be possible.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
