New session Integer reset issue

[johnMoss]

Interesting little problem, first assumption is my initialization is faulty... I have a variable "i"intially declared up top as

private int i = 0;

Then in update I have as follows:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{


if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;

if (CurrentBars[1] < 2)
return;

if (Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession == true) // reset indicator at start of session
i = 0;


This is what I want, reset i to zero at start of session.

What's odd, is that this works just fine in playback but with a live data feed it sets to -1. During the day therefore it rests at -1 instead of zero.

Thoughts?

Hello johnMoss,

While I don't see a problem with the suggested code, I do recommend initializing variables in State.DataLoaded.

I see you are using CurrentBars[1]. To confirm, you are adding a series with AddDataSeries() in State.Configure?
Are you also checking CurrentBars[0] is not less than 1?

I'm testing this on a 60 minute chart and not seeing an issue.

Thank you Chelsea... Answers to your questions are Yes, and "I am now" ...

That and moving the initialization to State.DatalLoaded have apparently resolved the issue. Thanx Again
