How to get something to run on last bar on chart?

[forrestang]

Howdy.

I have some various stats I have a script I have run on the end of each day, last bar of that particular session template.

I.e. for a RTH session template of NQ, it will run on that last bar that occurs at the end of the session. My problem is that it works for every day except the very last session. So if I run the report over 15 days of data, it will collect the first 14 days, but it won't execute on the very last day, until a new day begins.

Is there a way to get around this? Or is there a way to tell it to run on the very latest bar on the chart?

The piece of code I am using to run at the end of the day is:

			if(Bars.LastBarOfSession )
			{	
                                 Do somethign
			}

Hi forrestang,

You can work with CurrentBar in relation to Count to identify the last bar on the chart.

When CalculateOnBarClose = true:
if (Count - 2 == CurrentBar)

When CalculateOnbarClose = false:
if (Count - 1 == CurrentBar)

Thank you, that seems to be what I needed to trigger that last session run.

Hi,
Will Count also work in case of MutiSymbol strategy?

Hello Ankas,

Thank you for your post.

Count will work in multi-series indicators and strategies.

Hello,

I tried to use marking the last bar with the information from NT-support and I do

DrawDot("LastBar" + CurrentBar, false, 0, Low[0] - 2 * TickSize, Color.Chartreuse);

But the dots remain below the bars, I just need a dot below the last bar.

What do I have to change please?

Thank you
Tony

Try:

DrawDot("LastBar" , false, 0, Low[0] - 2 * TickSize, Color.Chartreuse);

If you just want a dot below the last bar on the chart.

Hi,
Try out
if ( CurrentBar >= ( Count -2 ))
DrawDot("LastBar", false, 0, Low[0] - 2 * TickSize, Color.Chartreuse);

Hello Tony,

Thank you for your post.

forrestang is correct here. Removing the CurrentBar from the tag string will mean there is only one tag listed so only one dot drawn. If you add a variable to the tag such as CurrentBar that updates every bar you will get a dot each time the condition to draw the dot occurs.
