OnBarUpdate Confuse

[amiralimadadi]

Hi
I am confused. i add a data series by AddDataSeries method in the constructor of strategy. i set the period to 150 tick, when i run the strategy in a new chart, i set the interval to 5 minutes. now i want to know when Onbarupdate method is called? every 5 minutes or every 150 ticks?

Hello amiralimadadi,

Both data series will call OnBarUpdate() as each series is updated based on your Calculate setting.

To help see this, on the OnBarUpdate section you can add this print statement:

Print ("OnBarUpdate called by: "+BarsInProgress). BarsInProgress 0 will be the 5 minute bars and BarsInProgress 1 will be the 150 tick bars.
