You can use BarStatus to ensure that `var0` is calculated on bar close and not on every tick. For example:

Code

Variables:
  var0(0),
  buyOrder(false);

if (BarStatus(1) = 2) then begin

  // Calculate var0 on bar close
  var0 = ...
  
  // Generate the order condition
  if (Low > var0) then
    buyOrder = true;

end;

// This code is executed on every tick
if (buyOrder = true) then begin

  // Submit order

end;

Hi Jura,

Sorry to bother you again. I am trying to fully understand the BarStatus function and so I tried below code to see if it works for me but unfortunately it did not react as I expected.

If (BarStatus(1) = 1) and (BarStatus(2) = 1) then begin//I am assuming BarStatus(1) is same as Bar[1] etc...correct?
Gap1= high[2]*GapUp;
if (low[1]>Gap1) and (close<high[1]) then
FalseGapUp1=True;
End;
If (BarStatus(1) = 1) and (BarStatus(2) = 1) and (BarStatus(3) = 1) then begin
Gap2= high[3]*GapUp;
if (low[2]>Gap2) and (close<low[1]) then
FalseGapUp2=True;
End;

Is my assumption that BarStatus(1) is the same as Bar[1]? If not how can I code if IOG=true and I like to use 30 minutes Bar[3], Bar[2] and Bar[1]?

Follow the link in my previous post for more information about `BarStatus`; your assumption is not correct I'm afraid.

By the way, previous bars (i.e., bars that have closed) will always have a `BarStatus` value of 2 (= closed).

OMG! So how can I code it then with the following logic if IOG = True. Here's what I wanted to achieve if IOG=False but I like it to function under IOG=True. This strategy is to determine when there is a false gap up of 30 minutes bar.

Gap1= high[2]*GapUp;//Gap occurs the previous 30 min bar.
if (low[1]>Gap1) and (close<high[1]) then
FalseGapUp1=True;
End;

Gap2= high[3]*GapUp;// gap occurs the previous 2 30 min bars.
if (low[2]>Gap2) and (close<low[1]) then
FalseGapUp2=True;
End;

If code should work under IOG the same way as without IOG, all you need to do is add the `BarStatus` keyword since the only difference between IOG and non-IOG is whether the prices are processed intra-bar (IOG) or just on bar close (non-IOG).

So making your code behave in the same way with IOG enabled as it did with IOG disabled would be:

Code

if (BarStatus(1) = 2) then begin

    Gap1= high[2]*GapUp;//Gap occurs the previous 30 min bar.
    if (low[1]>Gap1) and (close<high[1]) then
    FalseGapUp1=True;
    End;

    Gap2= high[3]*GapUp;// gap occurs the previous 2 30 min bars. 
    if (low[2]>Gap2) and (close<low[1]) then
    FalseGapUp2=True;
    End;

end;

Many Thanks Again Jura, You make my day happy once again. Your help works. I just tweaked a little and it perfectly work according to my liking. Here is what I did.

if (BarStatus(1) = 1) then begin

Gap1= high[2]*GapUp;//Gap occurs the previous 30 min bar.
if (low[1]>Gap1) and (close<high[1]) then
FalseGapUp1=True;

Gap2= high[3]*GapUp;// gap occurs the previous 2 30 min bars.
if (low[2]>Gap2) and (close<low[1]) then
FalseGapUp2=True;

end;
