Adding Indicator that calculates on each tick

[ntcoder256]

Hi,

I want several of my WMA indicators to calculate on each tick, not on bar close, how can I do this?

Every example I see uses close ex: WMA(Close, 5);

I haven't been able to find it in the ninjascript documentation, thanks!

Hello ntcoder256,

To make indicators use OnEachTick from calling it in a strategy you need to turn on OnEachTick for the strategy. The host script sets the child scripts to the same Calculate setting.

If your strategy needs to still work OnBarClose you would use OnEachTick but then use IsFirstTickOfBar to simulate OnBarClose logic.
