Ensuring onBarUpdate will not process already existing Bars?

[liadmz]

Hi Team,

I have built an indicator that sends me an email each time a condition is met,
The problem is, that when I load my indicator (which have 5 days back) I get emails every time this condition triggered on the "Old" data.

Is there a way for me to start the sending only from the current bar onwards?

Thank you!

Hello liadmz,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the Ninjatrader forums!

As your post relates to Indicators I will move this topic to the appropriate forum (you posted in strategy development)

Just to confirm, you are asking about a NinjaTrader8 indicator you created?

What method are you using to send the e-mail(s)? SendMail() or share() or??

Perhaps you can post the line(s) of code that relate (change the e-mail addresses to something like xxxx.gmail.com so that you don't get unsolicited spambot mails.

Sounds like you want to avoid sending email on historical bars ...

From your question, I presume you're not using Ninja's SendMail?

If so, whenever your custom send email code needs to run, you
need a 'guard' to prevent doing so on Historical bars, like this,

if (State != State.Historical)
{
... your code to send email
}

But, if you use NinjaScript's own SendMail, it already does this check.

Yes, I am talking about NT8 indicator I created

The code is a simple API using C# (the server-side sends the actual email and SMS)

var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";

using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
     string json = "{\"text\":\"" + txt + "\"}";
     streamWriter.Write(json);
}

var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
     var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}

That is exactly what I was looking for!
