BarsAgo appears to be lagging

[Turtle Trader]

Hello,

As soon (i.e. immediately) as a new bar opens, I am needing to start scanning the prior bars.

I must have something wrong because it looks to me like on the first tick of a new bar that the [0] bar pointer has not yet been moved to the new bar.

Below is the code to indicate what is happening, if you put it in an indicator, on a new bar [0] is still pointing to what I would have thought would now be [1].

(If you run it on a tick chart it will move fast enough to see what is happening.)

Is this so?

If possible, how can I reliably start processing backwards on the first tick of a new bar?

Do I need to treat [0] as [1]?

If so at what point does [0] move to the current bar, making that process invalid?

Thank you.

// This method is used to configure the indicator and is called once before any bar data is loaded.
protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
Overlay = true;
AutoScale = false;
}

/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

Print ("--------------------------------------------");
Print ("New Bar");

Print("Bar 0 Open = "+Open[0].ToString());
DrawArrowDown("tag1", true, 0, Open[0] + TickSize, Color.Red);

if (CurrentBar < 1)
return;

Print("Bar 1 Open = "+Open[1].ToString());
DrawArrowDown("tag2", true, 1, Open[1] + TickSize, Color.Blue);

}

Hi Turtle Trader,

This is the nature of how CalculateOnBarClose = true; behaves.
More info at - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ateOnBarClose1

If you want the logic to calculate [0] as the current bar, use CalculateOnBarClose = false;

Alternatively, you can separate logic to calculate partially with COBC = false, and another part to only calculate once per bar.
See this sample - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=19387

Thank you.

It looks like what I need to do is set COBC = false and use the boolean FirstTickofBar.

Hi Turtle Trader,

Great, glad to hear you are up and running.

[Turtle Trader]

Yes, it is working perfectly now.

Thanks again.
