Calculate(int index) not called when using custom indicator in bot
Calculate(int index) not called when using custom indicator in bot
11 Jul 2016, 16:41
I have a custom indicator and bot. Let's call them proIndicator and proBot respectively.
When I overlay the proIndicator on a chart, everything works fine, but when I try to use proIndicator in proBot then the Calculate(int index) function is not called. I verify this by writing Print(index) as the first line of the function. What I can do is call the function explicitely from proBot either like this:
int index = 0; OnBar() { proIndicator.Calculate(index); { // buy/sell } index++ }
or
OnBar() { proIndicator.Calculate(MarketSeries.OpenTime.GetIndexByTime(MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue)); { // buy/sell } }
But both result in a discrepency in the current time between the indicator and bot.
Observations:
- The Initialize() function of the indicator is being called properly though.
- When I use other custom indicator and bot pairs (i.e. downloaded from these forums) the problem is not observed.
Is this a problem observed before?
ps. I rather not share my source code.

So called once per time frame, right? Furthermore, I do not clearly see what you are trying to explain.
