OnBarUpdate not fired for last plotted bar

[isitpossible]

I am not sure why this happens! Especially if i am loading chart daily data after market close and not interested in after hours data. Is this by design or do i need to change some setting?

Although it wont work on individual daily chart, i ran the indicator in Market Analyzer and it seems to work there. Not sure how this really works....

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help and support.

isitpossible, the OnBarUpdate() for your daily chart would be called if the bar closes (if CalculateOnBarClose set to 'true'), thus if the opening tick of the next day is received.

But if that is true then howcome this works in MA even when the CalculateOnBarClose = true in the indicator!!!

isitpossible, are you using the same session time in both the chart and Market Analyzer? Per default indicators in the MA are set to CalculateOnBarClose = false, so you might want to doublecheck your setting.

The value of CalculateOnBarCloase is set to true in the indicator. Now when i apply this on the daily chart I will not get a plot for the last bar since it is considered not closed till the next day. But if i apply this indicator to MA to scan stocks for certain conditions then it seems to work for the current day). I want this to work for current day on daily chart as well and wondering I do I do this?

Where do i set this session time?

Yes, you would still see a value displayed, but this the value from the last OnBarUpdate call, not including the 'not yet closed' current daily bar. When you set the indicator to false, it will display the value of the last onbarbar update call of the day (the last received tick).

Thats how I understood this but when I set the variable to false in the indicator and run it on a daily chart (not on minutes but day), it will not display the plot for the last bar. If I understand this correct then for daily chart the last tick is considered as the opening tick for the next day and hence the last bar is not closed until next day morning, is this right assumption?

Is there a way by which I can set the time so that the software knows that the official market day is closed and that could be trigger to calculateonbarcloase!!!

Your assumption is correct, since NinjaTrader 6.5 is event driven, not time driven. NinjaTrader 7 will offer more features in this regard. I would suggest you recheck your indicator on Monday when the market is open with CalculateOnBarClose set to false.
