Error with FirstTickOfBar in an indicator

[SuzyG]

Hi

I have put FirstTickOfBar in the OnBarUpdate event of my indicator. I get the following error:

"The name 'FirstTickOfBar' does not exist in the current context."

Is this available in strategies only and not indicators? If so, what will give me a similar result? I tried using Bars.PercentComplete, but it didn't work out.

Thank you. SuzyG

Yes only on strategies. You would have to check when the CurrentBar value changes, that will be the first tick of bar.
