Is there any way to determine conclusively when a Line Break candle has ended? I mean, without considering that a new bar will be plot in the sequence?
Reason for the question: when a Line Break bar candle is being plot, and specially when a very short price change triggered the Line Break interval configured, it is seemingly impossible to know, in a blink of an eye, if the bar has actually ended (i.e: has completed number of line breaks within the minimum base period) or if the bar is still active ( but not progressing) and the market has gone backwards to the opposite direction and it may take a long while to come back to that point ( it happens sometimes even with a tiny price change). If it is clearly signaled that the bar has ended it becomes easier to know if the market has "stopped" moving in that trend direction. I am aware there is a tiny price marker moving up and down the candle when the price reverts to the opposite direction, but again, when the candle is too short at the Y axis ( price delta), the change in direction of that price marker is not noticeable to help form an opinion. Or the market may be stopped and the price marker is so tiny that it is not noticeable.
For me, that knowledge of what is going on, and clearly see the bar status as it develops, is required for a strategy under analysis.
Thanks much indeed,
