How to check only the last bar loaded?

[gubbar924]

Hi,

I've forgotten how to make sure the script is only looking at the last completed bar, as opposed to seeing each bar as the current last bar while all of the bars are being loaded.

I tried using this, but it doesn't seem to work:

if ((Calculate == Calculate.OnBarClose) && (CurrentBar == Bars.Count-2))

Any takers on this one?


Thanks!

Hello Gubbar924,

Thank you for your note.

To ensure the script only processing real time data, or having it avoid processing historical data, you could use the following under OnBarUpdate().

if (State == State.Historical)
return;

See the following example on State.Historical.
