Determining the 'Last' Bar

July 2nd, 2011, 09:05 PM

In ThinkScript, you can use the following statement:

If IsNan(Close[-1]) then 1 else 0;

to determine if the bar being 'processed' is the last one or if there are more bars ahead of it.

I tried to do this in NinjaScript using Double.IsNan(Close[-1]) but it doesn't work. Is there another way to accomplish this objective?

Thanks!

if (Historical)

I think is what you want.

Actually, it was my bad.

The statement does work in NinjaScript, but you have to make sure that you use the if (CurrentBar < n) return;
statement properly first. I'm not used to doing this as it is generally not required in ThinkScript.

For the record,

You were 100% correct Big Mike.

At first, I was only testing the indicator containing the statement on daily charts with Kinetick EOD data. Essentially, those are historical only charts. Once I moved to smaller timeframes with real-time bar updates, my charts started going nuts. I added the historical condition and everything suddenly worked nicely.

Thanks again for your reply!
