Condition to enter as soon as bar close?

[MatthewLesko]

Is there a condition or way to make order as soon as previous bar closes regardless of any indicators or info on the bar?

If you are using Calculate.OnEachTic, and at the open of a bar, you could use IsFirstTickOfBar

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
    {
      if(IsFirstTickOfBar)
      {
         //Do Stuff
      }
   }

The above will process on the OPEN of the bar, and will be the first thing that happens. I'm not sure if this is sufficient.

Hi Matthew, thanks for posting. forrestang is correct. If the script runs OnBarClose, that is also defined as the first tick of the next bar as well.

Kind regards,

Is there a way to translate that into the Strategy builder section because I can't do code. What I do bars ago 0 and look for price open?

Hi Matthew, in the Misc folder of the builder, there is the IsFirstTickOfBar property. On the left side condition, select this and on the right side select Misc>true. This translates to:


if(IsFirstTickOfBar == true)
{
//Do Stuff
}
