Array populated with CalcBar

csswowsers · Postby **csswowsers** » 21 Apr 2014

My understanding is that the CalcBar() routine is run once per bar. In trying to keep an array of the x bar high/low, I notice that the first time CalcBar() is run, all the values of the array are populated. I had started using VariableSeries but was getting the values were being overridden by previous values.

Code: Select all


//public VariableSeries<Double> m_NBHigh;

        public double[] m_NBHigh;

        //public VariableSeries<Double> m_NBLow;

        public double[] m_NBLow;

protected override void Create() {

			// create variable objects, function objects, order objects etc.

			//m_NBHigh = new VariableSeries<Double>(this);

            m_NBHigh = new double[1000000];

			//m_NBLow = new VariableSeries<Double>(this);

            m_NBLow = new double[1000000];

}

protected override void CalcBar(){

			// strategy logic 

			

			if ((NBars + NOffset) >= 15)	xInit.Value = Convert.ToInt32(NBars + NOffset + 2);

			if (Bars.CurrentBar >= xInit.Value && Bars.CurrentBar <= Bars.FullSymbolData.Count)

			{

				int xk = Convert.ToInt32(Bars.CurrentBar - NBars - NOffset + 1);

                //int xj = xk - Bars.CurrentBar;

                m_NBHigh[Bars.CurrentBar] = Bars.FullSymbolData.High[xk] * 10000;

                m_NBLow[Bars.CurrentBar] = Bars.FullSymbolData.Low[xk] * 10000;

				//int l = Bars.CurrentBar;

                for (int l = xk; l <= Bars.CurrentBar-NOffset; l++)

                {

                    if (Bars.FullSymbolData.High[l] * 10000 > m_NBHigh[Bars.CurrentBar])

                        m_NBHigh[Bars.CurrentBar] = Bars.FullSymbolData.High[l] * 10000;

                    if (Bars.FullSymbolData.Low[l] * 10000 < m_NBLow[Bars.CurrentBar])

                        m_NBLow[Bars.CurrentBar] = Bars.FullSymbolData.Low[l] * 10000;

                }

}

}

Hello csswowsers,

That is correct and expected behavior. Please describe your final goal and what exactly you are unable to do.

I was able to edit the New_High_for_Day/New_Low_for_Day indicators to get what I want. However, when trying to close out a position on a reversal, I am not getting the expected behavior with OrderExit.FromEntry(buy_order) or OrderExit.FromEntry(sell_order);
I send a buy with
buy_order.Send(price,lots);
and a sell with
sell_order.Send(price,lots);
My expectation is that the OrderExit.FromEntry will close out the position
