How to prevent a certain calculation to be loaded when CalculateBarClose is FALSE

[nikolaalx]

Hi,
I have a strategy that I found out to be generating better results when ran in CalculateOnBarClose = False

This is why I am looking to easily and effectively add one additional controller as a criteria to each of the formulas that would result in "False" statement and thus way I will be able to filter out all of the things that I do not need to run while in realtime calculation.

Any Ideas how I can achieve this?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

You can essentially set a script to CalculateOnBarClose = false but also do some things if it were using true by using FirstTickOfBar.

Here is a simple example:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    if (FirstTickOfBar)
    {
         //code in here is executed only on each first tick of the bar or after the Close of the bar just like CalcualteOnBarClose = true; 
    }
//anything outside would be processed as CalculateOnBarClose = false; 
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Try this to filter your sections of code that only need to run on a tick by tick basis:

if(!CalculateOnBarClose)
{
Do it!
}
