suggest new onBarClose() method

[Lost Trader]

It would be logical to have an OnBarClose() method that always executes at the bar close, regardless of the "CalculateOnBarClose" property setting.

It would allow code to be more efficient and improve performance.
Those tasks which don't need intraday bar updates can be in the second method and those tasks which do require intraday bar updates can be in the onBarUpdate() method with "CalculateOnBarClose" set to false.

You can do what you want now.

Please check out the FirstTickOfBar property. Your OnBarUpdate() method could check for this and when the property value is true, you can execute your OnBarClose() code. Just keep in mind that you will need to reference values from 1 bar ago for the bar close values.

I have been investigating this. It is not as clean which is why I made the suggestion. (I like clean code)

For example, when coding with the Plots container, current bar values are set via Values[2].Set(Volume[0]);


However, to change the previous bar plot, this does not seem to work:
Values[2][1].Set(Volume[1]);

I am still trying to figure out how to alter the prior bar's plot value.

Try,

Values[2].Set(1, Volume[1]);

Try,

Values[2].Set(1, Volume[1]);

Sometimes I am an idiot. Thank you!
