    How to test when we move to a new bar

    Hi. I am running an indicator where I have set CalculateOnBarClose=true. I believe this means that OnBarUpdate() will only fire when the present bar closes.

    However, I have initialized

    MarketData.MarketDataItem +=
    new MarketDataItemEventHandler(MarketData_MarketDataIt em);

    so I am processing incoming tick data.

    When I set CalculateOnBarClose = true, my DrawText() statements to bar = 0, will not draw the text on the current bar, but the bar before. It will only draw on the current bar if I set CalculateOnBarClose=false. But then, the OnBarUpdate() event fires on every tick.

    My question is if I set CalculateOnBarClose=false, is there a way for me to tell when the current bar will close and we are moving to the next bar in the OnBarUpdate() event?

    Thank you.

    Not in NT5. We have added a FirstTickOfBar property to NT6 strategies and will consider doing the same for indicators.
