Multithreaded events in strategy and CurrentBar value

[rfsettling]

Hello

I subscribe my strategy to Account events (this account is different to the account the strategy is linked).

var MySomeAccount = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(....);
MySomeAccount.OrderUpdate += AccountOnOrderUpdate;

...
private void AccountOnOrderUpdate(object aSender, OrderEventArgs aArgs)
{
  var aLastClose = this.Close[0]; <--- Here sometimes I have an Exception, because Bars.CurrentBar =0
}

I understand why it happens: while I try to get value from last bar, CurrentBar value is being changed (temporary) to 0 by the code of another thread (OnMarketData thread generates new tick).

I need some way to synchronize my data flow with my account events. Something like that

private void AccountOnOrderUpdate(object aSender, OrderEventArgs aArgs)
{
  lock (some_bars_sync_object)
  {
    var aLastClose = this.Close[0]; 
  }
}

I found SyncRealtimeData property in strategy class. It seems it is related to my issue, but I'm not sure.

Please, point me out, how I can synchronize my account events to my market data updates

Hello rfsettling,

Thanks for opening the thread.

These events are asynchronous of each other, so I am unsure if you are simply trying to access price values from another thread or if you are trying to accomplish something more by synchronizing these events.

Could you confirm that accessing these values with the Series<T>.GetValueAt() method and using CurrentBar does not get you the results you are looking for?

In these cases you may also use TriggerCustomEvent() to make sure all internal pointers are synchronized and updated before your code references its data.

I've included publicly available documentation to the topics discussed.

Series<T>.GetValueAt() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...getvalueat.htm

TriggerCustomEvent() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ustomevent.htm

If this information does not lead you toward a resolution, could you share a reduced example of the code so I may observe the issue you are facing on my end?

Thanks, Jim!

TriggerCustomEvent is exactly what I need.
