Simple question about BarsInProgress != 0

[pstrusi]

If you had a strategy that works only with the original price data series as Close[0], Close[1]...etc, is it really necessary this statement generated by the Strategy Builder?

if (BarsInProgress != 0)
                return;​

Obviously, this means: discarding any update different than the original data series 0.

Thanks

Hello pstrusi,

Thanks for your post.

This line of code is automatically generated by the Strategy Builder when creating a Strategy Builder strategy.

This section of code is preventing OnBarUpdate() from running in other series in case additional secondary data series are added to the Strategy Builder strategy.

If you are unlocking the script from the Strategy Builder to manually program your script then you could remove this section of code from the strategy.
