[amibroker] Re: Question regarding real-time trading

["Julian" <juliangoodsell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I might be missing something in your question but if you want to know if a new bar has arrived, you could just check the value of barindex?


LastBar = LastValue(BarIndex());
prevLastBar = StaticVarGet("prevlastbar");

// Initialise
if (IsNull(prevLastBar)){
	prevLastBar = LastBar;
	StaticVarSet("prevlastbar", prevLastBar);
}

if (LastBar > prevLastBar){
	_TRACE("New Bar");
	StaticVarSet("prevlastbar", LastBar);
}


Regards,
Jules.

This way, you don't have to know what kind of bar you're dealing with (minute-based, tick-based, volume-based) and try to do the calc yourself.
