question: how do you write an "if" function that triggers code at the END of each bar on the chart (which works independent of chart timeframe)?

murky waters,

Welcome to our forum!

Test this code:

bool NewBar() //this function will return true if there's a new bar.

{

static bool first_call = true;

static int start_bar = 0;

if(first_call)

{

start_bar=Bars;

first_call=false;

}

if(Bars == (start_bar+1))

{

first_call=true;

return (true);

}

else

{

return (false);

}

}

int start() //<-- in your start function you may use code like this

{

if (NewBar)

{

//do something

}

return (0);

}

Another Way

I prefer to use this solution for finding new Bars

bool NewBar()

{

static datetime LastTime;

if (LastTime != Time[0])

{

LastTime = Time[0];

return(true);

}

return(false);

}

it's seems to be shorter
