Recalculate Historical Data

[Djspinburner]

I created a toolbar for my indicator that changes certain condition which need to recalculate historical data based on new condition. How can I rerun the calculation on historical data when it is already loaded?

Hello Djspinburner,

Any time historical data is loaded or reloaded, or anytime the script is added or refreshed, the script will automatically reprocess all historical data.

If none of these actions has not happened then the historical has not changed.

If you want to loop through the historical data anyway you can do with with a for loop.

For example:
for (int i = 0; i < CurrentBars - 1; i++)
{
Print(string.Format("{0} | BarsAgo: {1} | Close: {2}", Time[i], i, Close[i]));
}

Your suggestion calculates the data backwards, I need it to calculate forward, however if I reverse your statement I get index out of range error. I need the data to calculate with the olders bars first to the newest bars last. In NT 7 i simply passed the SendKeys.Send("{F5}"); In NT8 that resets the toolbar back to defaults hence making it somewhat useless..

Hi Djspinburner,

I only suggesting you use a loop. How you write is up to you.

Start at CurrentBar minus 1 and decrement until no longer greater than 0 if you would like.

The example just shows what a loop looks like. I'm not providing the exact code you should use in your script.

Below is a link to a 3rd party educational site on using for loops.

And always ensure if you are going to use an index that that index exists first.

For example using a barsAgo value equal to or greater than the total number of bars would result in an index error.
