Intrabarpersist and Historical tick data Question

June 26th, 2010, 02:49 PM

I am a new tradestation user, and I am new to EL. I try to understand and verify how intrabarpersist works for Historical tick data. Below is the indicator code, the code is applied to a 500-tick chart using tradestation historical tick data. Nothing is plotted in the indicator subgraph, what's wrong?

Thanks very much in advance for your help!

Code

                            
// code test 1 
Var: intrabarpersist TradeCount(0); 
Var: intrabarpersist TradesThisBar(0); 

If LastBarOnChart then Begin 

TradeCount = TradeCount + 1 ; 
TradesThisBar = TradeCount ; 

If Barstatus(1) = 2 then TradeCount = 0; 

Plot1(TradesThisBar ,"Trades") ; 

End; 

// code test 2 
Var: intrabarpersist TradeCount(0); 
Var: intrabarpersist TradesThisBar(0); 

TradeCount = TradeCount + 1 ; 
TradesThisBar = TradeCount ; 

If Barstatus(1) = 2 then TradeCount = 0; 

Plot1(TradesThisBar ,"Trades") ;

marketstudent,
I'm testing your code and both versions seem to plot fine. Are you connected to TradeStation's data feed?
