[amibroker] Detecting New Bar

[Ara Kaloustian]

I use the code below to detect when a new bar is started, so that I process some indicators only once per bar in order to decrease CPU load.   The code below uses LastValue() function (which is slow). I would like to replace it with Close[BarCount-1] ..., but can not quite figure out how ...   My concern is that Quick AFL keeps changing the number of bars loaded as time goes on, so I am not sure what the impact is.   Anyone see a way out?   Thanks   Ara    //Detect New Bar //Variables: NewBar // if (IsNull(StaticVarGet("Lastbar"))) { StaticVarSet("Lastbar",0); }   //Detect New bar //Use to start routines at start of new bar // NewBar = False; if (StaticVarGet("Lastbar")!=LastValue(BarIndex())) { NewBar = True; StaticVarSet("Lastbar",LastValue(BarIndex())); }     Please note that this group is for discussion between users only.
