Close of bar

[imesforum]

Hello there,
How can I evaluate conditions only on the close of a bar.

example: I have a strategy that operates on a 240 min chart. However, eSignal updates intrabar and causes my strategy to evaluate on every tick.

Thanks.

There are essentially two ways in which you can do this (each with its own set of pros and cons).
Use either a setComputeOnClose() statement or execute your calculations within a BARSTATE_NEWBAR condition (see getBarState())
Search the forum and you will find many discussions with examples of the use of either
