CalulateOnLastBars

user101 · Wed, 18 Jan 2017 16:34:10 +0000

Hi I’d like to use functionality similar to DEFPARAM CALCULATEONLASTBARS in an indicator. I want to be able to pass it a variable though (not hardcode a set number of bars to load). I can’t find any way to do this though. Alternatively is there a way to replicate this functionality within the indicator? The indicator may be used on multiple different timeframes, so it is difficult to limit the calculation purely on date/time. Thank you

No variable can be used with any of the DEFPARAM instruction, I’m sorry.

About your second question, you could use a DRAWONLASTBARONLY and then make a loop from there to calculate and display your indicator within the last X bars defined in the loop. A bit tricky if your indicator has already one or more FOR/NEXT loop built-in, but it could work as intended.
