Buy Sell Pressure Indicator Used with OnBarUpdate

[cpabiz20k]

I am developing a strategy using the Buy/Sell Pressure indicator which is an ontickupdate indicator. I want the strategy to place an order at the end of bar. Can you give/point me to me a snippet of code to show how to use both ontickupdate and onbarupdate at the same time?

Thanks

Hello cpabiz20k,

This can be done by triggering the order in a condition that requires IsFirstTickOfBar to be true.

The help guide has example code.

Thanks Chelsea - I am not quite sure what to do with this...I think the main issue is that the indicator always shows 50 at the beginning of every bar. We tested and it also shows 50 for the previous bar's value. Our strategy needs to track the value of the buy sell pressure from the prior candle. Is there a way to get the true value of the buy sell pressure indicator from the previous candle?

Hello cpabiz20k,

By using a barsAgo value?
BuySellPressure().BuyPressure[1]

Are you talking historical or real-time?

Is TickReplay on?

I checked and I do have the TickReplay on...I have tried both market replay and live. Can I send you the sample code and ask you to look at it for me?
Thanks

Hello cpabiz20k,

Add the indicator to the chart with AddChartIndicator().

Are you seeing the values you are printing do not match the indicator that appears on the chart?

Are you calling Update() to ensure the values are up to date in the indicator?

I am not able to reproduce this behavior.

Attached is the test script and a screenshot of the output on my end compared with the DataBox from the chart with the mouse over that particular bar.

That worked perfectly. I was missing several small things related to isfirsttick. Thanks - Your help is much appreciated!
