1. I want to update a EOD indicator right after the end of session vs on nextbar (session open) anyone have a script for this to happen or ideas?

2. Second issue, the following error: Indicator could not be serialized. (when saving as template)
The indicator recently had a live trend line added to it that updated per bar, since then the indicator cannot be saved as a template if the line is plotted on the chart, if its not plotted then I can save as a template.
Any ideas?

thanks

1. You need to set your indicator to CalculateOnBarClose = false, otherwise it will only update with the first tick of the new session.

2. First close the offending chart. Shutdown and restart NinjaTrader. Now add the indicator to a virgin chart (only this indicator and nothing else !) and try to save it as a template. If the problem persists, your indicator has coding errors.

3. In case that there are coding errors, please post the indicator here and I will have a look which lines of the code create the problem.

1. I tried this and did not update when changed to false. Its currently programmed to update per bar, from what I can see I need it programmed to have Bars.Session.GetNextBeginEnd, but this is out of my league LOL, so will need to find a programmer to help me.

2. I fluked out and fixed this myself, a class needed switched from public to private.

Thanks for your response.

Don't hesitate to post the code if you need any help.

Fat Tails,

Here is basic EMA code, can you alter it to do the following:
1. Continue to update on each bar
2. Update at session end

many thanks

{
Value.Set(CurrentBar == 0 ? Input[0] : Input[0] * (2.0 / (1 + Period)) + (1 - (2.0 / (1 + Period))) * Value[1]);
}

@35trader:

I do not understand your question.

The EMA updates after each bar and at session end, if you set it to CalculateOnBarClose = false.

@35trader: I do not understand your question. The EMA updates after each bar and at session end, if you set it to CalculateOnBarClose = false.

Where within the EMA script does it trigger the at session end update?

For some reason this false function does not have the same affect on my indicator as it does in the EMA script I pasted here as I see the EMA does update with false inserted as you stated.

thanks

You have never shown your indicator to anybody, how would I know what you have done?

Can you do the following.
Where within the EMA script does it trigger the at session end update and explain it?
