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!

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!
