Hi,
I'd like to simulate an OnBarClose kind of event. For 1m bars, it works pretty
easily. I use code similar to the following
RequestTimeRefresh(1);
function GetSecondNum()
{
Time = Now(4);
Seconds = int(Time%100);
Minutes = int(Time/100%100);
Hours = int(Time/10000%100);
SecondNum= int(Hours*60*60+Minutes*60+Seconds);
return SecondNum;
}
if (frac(GetSecondNum()/60)==0) {
_TRACE("End of minute bar");
}
You can replcae the _Trace() statement with whatever you'd like to do at the
very end of the bar. The function GetSecondNum() came from the library and I
believe the author is Herman (tyring to give credit where credit is due :)
However, this doesn't work for tick charts. I tried being clever by using a
static var to hold LastValue(BarIndex()) and check it against the current
BarIndex() -- alas, it seems that if my RT database holds 20000 bars and I have
20000 bars loaded, the last value of Barindex() is always 19,999 -- at least
that is what I get in _Trace() bar after bar.
If anyone knows of a way to capture the close of a tick bar, that would be very
useful information. Meanwhile, I hope the onbarclose-like event for minute bars
(and longer) is useful to someone.
Regards,
Gordon
