Using BARSTATE_NEWBAR

[peterjerome]

question interpreting this statement:
if (nState == BARSTATE_NEWBAR)...

when is the function (BARSTATE_NEWBAR) not true?
is it while the current new bar is forming? (say 5 mins),
or immeadiately after the new bar has formed?

will a function that calls BARSTATE-NEWBAR continue looping until the new bar has formed?

hope this makes sense.
thanks for any guidance.

BARSTATE_NEWBAR is true only on the first tick of each new bar (and obviously on each bar on historical bars)
