Indicator calculate OnEachTick instantiating indicator OnBarClose

[germanf]

Hi everyone,
Lets say I have MyFirstIndicator and MySecondIndicator as follows.

-----------------------
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
...
Name = "MyFirstIndicator";
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
...
}

-----------------------
-----------------------
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
...
Name = "MySecondIndicator";
Calculate = Calculate.OnEachTick;
...
}
else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
...
MyFirstIndicator1 = MyFirstIndicator(......);
...
}
-----------------------
-----------------------

MySecondIndicator must calculate OnEachTick. This one, instantiates MyFirstIndicator which must calculate OnBarClose. Both are set like that in State.SetDefaults

I figured out that despite I set the calculation mode as it should be for each both indicators, when I run MySecondIndicator, because it is calculating OnEachTick, overrides the calculation of MyFirstIndicator doing so OnEachTick also.

Is it possible to force in any way the calculation for each indicator as I want?


Many thanks in advance for your support.

Hello germanf,

What you are seeing is normal, the host will force the hosted scripts to calculate the same as the host. To simulate OnBarUpdate you would need to change the first indicators logic to use FirstTickOfBar

You can also do like the BuySellPressure indicator does in its logic to simulate bar closes.
