Why is my code running like this in realtime?

[kaywai]

It was working better with historical data.

1) The buy counts when Close[0] < Close[4] didn't appear even though there were 9 successive counts where each close was less than the close 4 bars ago. This can be seen where there is a green dashed line and an arrowup.

2) in the white box, a) the green dashed line should only draw after there are 9 bars in front of it. b) the green arrow up should only draw after 9 successive counts where each close < close 4 bars ago. c) the counts on one bar appear at 2 different locations (re: second bar from the right) and the current bar is actually illegible...

3) it clears up after i right-click on the chart, select "indicator", and click "apply" or clicking "F5".

Help!!!

Ok. it seems that every tick the bars makes is counted as 1 count. Have changed "CalculateOnBarClose" from "false" to "true" but the issue is still there...

Not sure what else to do...

P.S Here is another chart. The green square after the '4' is suppose to read '5'...

Kay, as noted on other threads circling around the same topic you would need to simplify your code as much as possible and then add Print statements throughout important sections to access why calcs are different in realtime from the historically seen ones.

Did you reapply the indicator fresh after you changed your CalculateOnBarClose setting?

Bertrand,

If you mean closing the old chart and opening a new chart, then "yes".

I even tried separating the buy from the cell in another code...issue exist too. It seems that everytime, the "close" of the bar changes, the count changes along with it...it should only update the count at the same time a new bar is formed, no?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Yes, either a new chart and applying the indicator or pressing F5 to start a new instance of it after you compiled code changes in...if it still updates with each new tick, it indicates you did not change the CalculateOnBarClose setting successfully, please recheck.

Thanks Bertrand! Seems to be working fine now. Kay Wai
