GetDayBar - whats wrong

[fel17]

Given your code snippet, why would expect that you would not see data processed from every day on the chart? OnBarUpdate() is an event handler, which is triggered on all data in the stream that it processes.

Yes, you are right and this is my point too.

Without a specific escape statement,

Exactly. The question is how this escape statement should looks like?
My idea was to compare GetDayBar(1).Time with (trading) yesterday related on actual today. So, I'd escape if NT is still on processing of older dates and enter if both dates are equal.

Just a simple example similar to what I'd like to code:
- Create an alert, if the market opened above PriorDay.High, the trades down and reached this prior high during the day. No plots.
I do not want to see all these alerts for the days in the past. It's gone.

Then what you are saying is a different issue. I read that to mean that you only want to start processing your code proper if the bar is formed today. To do that you just need to compare the date of each bar to today's date and return; if they are not equal.
