Returns a numerical value, indicating the status of the most recent tick in the current bar of the specified data series.
A value of 0 indicates that the tick is the opening tick of the bar, 1 indicates that the tick is within the bar, and 2 indicates that the tick is the closing tick of the bar.
AllowSendOrdersAlways set to True allows order generation even when barstatus is not defined (-1 will be returned).
Usage
BarStatus(DataNum)
Where:
- DataNum - a numerical expression specifying the data number of the series.
If DataNum is not specified, a value for the current data series will be returned.
Example
BarStatus(1)
Will return a value of 2 if the current tick in the data series with the data number 1 is the closing tick of a bar.
if BarStatus(1) = 2 then
Print("This is the closing tick of the bar.");
Will print the specified message on the last tick of the current bar.
