Can you change OnBarUpdate initial looping?

[davemclaughlin]

I have a reasonably complex calculation and iteration through the values in OnBarUpdate.

When I first add the Indicator and click OK it takes around 30 seconds to process 30,000 or so bars. My code is executing in max 1ms (I have tested this in VS debugger under debug mode).

It's calling OnBarUpdate for every bar with the number of bars increasing as it goes. The delay seems to be in how quickly this OnBarUpdate is called.

Once it has done this and the live feed is runnng, OnBarUpdate is a single call with the maximum bars and the 1ms is not an issue.

Is there any setting or option that I can use to speed up the initial add where it can be given the complete bar count instead of looping through them?

if(Historical) return;

That variable doesn't appear to be available. I've also searched the online help for NT8 and nothing found for that.

I got it. There is a State.Historical and I can set a variable inside this.

Thanks for the heads up though.

It partially works as long as there is a live feed coming in. With no live feed it does not show up at all until the next feed update.

I've included a boolean Enable to allow historical use. Need to work on some other options.

Would something like this work for you?

If(CurrentBar < Bars.Count -2) return;

Thanks, that works plus I added a setting to enable all for when running historical back tests. Not sure if you actually need this but it doesn't hurt to include it.

if (CurrentBar < (Bars.Count - 2) && ! historicalEnabled)
