    OnBarUpdate BarsInProgress[1] Clarification++

    Ninja's,

    Please reference this previous post regarding BarsInProgress OnBarUpdate: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...ad.php?t=43737

    Default Data series = 5 mins, secondary or first AddDataSeries = 1m

    If I do not specify the BarsInProgress it runs like this:

    OnBarUpdate() - 5 min .
    OnBarUpdate() - 1 min
    OnBarUpdate() - 1 min
    OnBarUpdate() - 1 min
    OnBarUpdate() - 1 min
    OnBarUpdate() - 1 min
    OnBarUpdate() - 5 min

    Question1: How would I not specify BarsInProgress?!? Is this correct code logic to not specify BarsInProgress? "if (BarsInProgress != 0)" ?

    Question 2:If I am using increment counters "x++" will the counters run and reset to zero at each OnBarUpdate listed above 5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 5? (note: "private int x=0" is just above protected override void OnBarUpdate() in code.

    Very much appreciated,
    Blairski

    Hello Blairski,

    Not specifying which bars in progress means you wouldn't have any condition.

    That line of code would be completely removed.

    The code you have suggested 'if (BarsInProgress != 0)' would trigger the action for any series that is processing that is not the primary.

    Removing the condition all together would allow the logic to run for all series.


    Incrementing a variable without specifying which BarsInProgress would cause the variable to increment for all bars being updated.

    Below is a publicly available link to the help guide on BarsInProgress.
