OnBarUpdate - BarsInProgress structure

[tonynt]

Hello,

I want to ask please if it is working ok in the code of a strategy and indicator when using in onbarupdate eg 3 dataseries and coding
if(BarsInProgress==1 || BarsInProgress=02) {if(Closes{[1][0]>Opens[1][0] || Closes{[2][0]>Opens[2][0]) then do}
or should be the conditions for each dataseries in an own {} to have each working like a seperate gear
if(BIP==1){}
if(BIP==2){}


Thank you!

Hello tonynt,

Thanks for your post.

Regarding:

if(BarsInProgress==1 || BarsInProgress=02)
{
if(Closes{[1][0]>Opens[1][0] || Closes{[2][0]>Opens[2][0])
//then do
}

The conditions Closes{[1][0]>Opens[1][0] || Closes{[2][0]>Opens[2][0] are evaluated only when the 1st added data series or the 2nd added data series calls OnBarUpdate().

Regarding, "or should be the conditions for each dataseries in an own {}" There are too many unknowns to answer the question. In both cases we recommend that you test your code and verify its performance by using Print statements.
