SetOnClose Alternative?

[waynecd]

Hi,

When the "vComputeOnClose" menu item is set to "true" (which sets up an if statement: if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){) will the effect be the same as adding a "setComputeOnClose()" statement in the preMain()?

I would like to have a menu item to equate the "setComputeOnClose".

Thank you.

Please see the following example:

var bInit = false;
var aFPArray = new Array();
var vOffset = null;
function preMain() {

setPriceStudy(false);
// setComputeOnClose();
setStudyTitle("Stoch Menu");
setShowTitleParameters(false);
setCursorLabelName("%K",0);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.black, 0);
setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_LINE,0);
setDefaultBarThickness(1,0);

var x=0;
aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter( "vComputeOnClose", FunctionParameter.BOOLEAN);
with( aFPArray[x++] ) {
setName( "Compute On Close" );
setDefault( false );
}
}
var myStudy1 = null;
var myStudy2 = null;
var myVar1;
var myVar1_1;

function main(vComputeOnClose){

if ( bInit == false ) {
myStudy1 = stochK( 10, 5, 3 );
myStudy2 = stochD( 10, 5, 3 );
bInit = true;
}
if(vComputeOnClose){
if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){
myVar1 = myStudy1.getValue(0);
}
}else{
myVar1 = myStudy1.getValue(0);
}
return myVar1;
}

Re: SetOnClose Alternative?

The effect will be similar however the logic that is required needs to be different.
When using getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR you need to retrieve the values at the prior bar (ie the one that just closed) because the efs is still executing on the current bar whereas setComputeOnClose() only allows the execution of the efs when a bar closes
In order to make your script work correctly you need to change the following section

 if(vComputeOnClose){
        if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){
            myVar1 = myStudy1.getValue(0); 
        }
    }else{
        myVar1 = myStudy1.getValue(0); 
    } 

to the following

 if(vComputeOnClose){
        if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){
            myVar1 = myStudy1.getValue(-1); 
        }
    }else{
        myVar1 = myStudy1.getValue(0); 
    } 

Hope this helps

You bet.

Once again, clear, to the point, and precise.
