Use 0 or 1 in custom blocks?

3 years ago #268956

I’m probably over thinking this however I can’t seem to find the answer.

I’m coding some custom blocks for use in MT4/5, 0 is the bar being built and 1 is the bar just closed.

It would seem, as I’m building blocks based on Tradestation code that 0 is the bar just closed.

So when creating custom blocks which do I use?

Close[0] or Close[1] for the bar just closed?

Hello,

the current bar close can be referenced as Close[0] in EasyLanguage

In MetaTrader 4/5 last closed bar is referenced as Close[1]

Hey Tomas,.
I may not have been clear with my question.

When coding a custom block l, if coded to MT4/5 parameters will SQX convert that code correctly to Tradestation code?

Does the backtest engine selected in the settings of AlgoWizard account for the difference?

Thanks

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
