Using GetMedian()

[tradeologist]

The syntax GetMedian() seems to include the current bar in the calculation, which might skew the result if the bar is early in development. One might assume that you could use calculate = OnBarClose to resolve this (but unsure).

However, is there any other technique to exclude the current bar from the calculation? Specifically, I am looking at applying this to an Indicator, not just a single Price point (i.e. Open, High, Low, Close).

Hello tradeologist,

Unfortunately, there is not a barsAgo index that can be used with this.

What you could do though, is save the median value to a variable on each update except for when IsFirstTickOfBar is true, and when true, the value would be for the previous bar.

You might also consider creating your own method that does not include the current bar.
