I might be missing something in your question but if you want to know if a new
bar has arrived, you could just check the value of barindex?
LastBar = LastValue(BarIndex());
prevLastBar = StaticVarGet("prevlastbar");
// Initialise
if (IsNull(prevLastBar)){
prevLastBar = LastBar;
StaticVarSet("prevlastbar", prevLastBar);
}
if (LastBar > prevLastBar){
_TRACE("New Bar");
StaticVarSet("prevlastbar", LastBar);
}

Jules.
