Characteristics of a Line Break Bar

[DTSSTS]

Help to understand a Line Break Bar on the Current bar in progress

I am running my conditions OnPriceChange and referencing Close 2 and Close 1, the current bar should be Close 0

When Setting a stop for example on High[2] (could be referencing any prior bar segment)

What happens as the current bar is in progress the stop will jump from High[2] to High[1], back and forth as the bar is inprogress

this occurs if the current bar is inside the body of the prior bar - AT THAT TIME THE BAR THINKS IT IS Close[1] so it then thinks High[1] is High[2]

Hello DTSSTS,

Thank you for writing in.

The Highs and Lows collections could be used instead of High and Low, such as Highs[0][2] instead of High[2].

By using Highs and Lows you could get the specific BarsInProgress index for the series you want instead of the index that is updating OnBarUpdate().

See the help guide documentation below for more information.

Highs - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../nt8/highs.htm
Lows - https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/lows.htm

Hello DTSSTS,

Thank you for your note.

That is correct. To use the Highs and Lows collections you would need to have your code unlocked from the Strategy Builder.
