Could IsFirstTickOfBar Miss?

On my OnBarUpdate method, I have it set to Price Change. Say the price of the first tick of a new bar, is the same price as the price of the last tick of previous bar. It would seem that OnBarUpdate would not fire then, so any IsFirstTickOfBar logic would also not fire then.

Would this be the case? Thanks,

Hello timmbbo,

Thanks for your post.

I am not aware of any instances where IsFirstTickOfBar does not get triggered when the first tick of a new bar occurs while using Calculate.OnPriceChange or Calculate.OnEachTick.

When using Calculate.OnPriceChange, IsFirstTickOfBar will always return true when the first tick of a new bar occurs.

You could add prints to your script within an IsFirstTickOfBar condition that prints something like "IsFirstTickOfBar triggered" along with the time of the bar (Time[0]) to see how the logic is evaluating.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
