CurrentBar: Flag to note when bar number first increments to next bar

[tonyh]

Hello:

How can one note the moment when CurrentBar is incrementing to the next bar number? For example, if CurrentBar = 10 on a 1 minute chart:

- calculations on bar 10
- CurrentBar increments to bar 11
- new calculation based on last calculation of CurrentBar = 10

- calculations on bar 11
- etc.

perhaps a While statement with some type of flag is appropriate. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi tonyh,

When CalculateOnBarClose = true, then this is for each OnBarUpdate().

When CalculateOnBarClose = false, then you can check for FirstTickOfBar. . The bar-closing event is the same as the next-bar-opening.

FirstTickOfBar: CalculateOnBarClose = false;

Hello Ryan:

I needed to know what was the final calculation for an indicator variable (e.g., upBar[1]) right after CurrentBar incremented to a new bar. This appears to handle that situation.

Thanks!

Tony
