Hi

I have a continuous tick by tick calculation. I need the changes of its value on each bar. I need a dataseries of them to make calculations.

I tried to reset the value with FirstTickOfBar. But sometimes it seems to ignore this part and adds the change to the value of the previous bar.
Could you tell me what is the problem or suggest any other solution to get the changes in value?

 
Code
		protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			totalvol = totalvol + eVol;
			totalvolplot.Set(totalvol);	
			if(FirstTickOfBar)
			{
				totalvol = eVol;
			}
				
		}
				
		
		protected override void OnMarketData(MarketDataEventArgs e)
		{
			
			//Set AskPrice
			if(e.MarketDataType == MarketDataType.Ask)
			{
				AskPrice = e.Price;
			}
			
			//Set BidPrice
			if(e.MarketDataType == MarketDataType.Bid)
			{
				BidPrice = e.Price;
			}
			
			//Trade calculations done on incoming trade data
			if (e.MarketDataType == MarketDataType.Last)
			{
						
			//Buys calculations
				if(e.Price >= AskPrice)
				{
					eVol = e.Volume;
				}
		
				//Sells calculations
				if(e.Price <= BidPrice)
				{
					eVol = e.Volume;
				}
			}
		}

Code
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			if(FirstTickOfBar)
	 		{
				totalvol = eVol;
			}
			else
			{
				totalvol = totalvol + eVol;
			}
				
			totalvolplot.Set(totalvol);	
		}
I would usually keep all summation calcs inside the OMD routine and only do a zero reset inside OnBarUpdate but try that instead.

Cheers
