Indicators on current bar always updating?

[Georgios Kourogiorgas]

Hi

I would like to verify that eg iMA for close on current bar will always be recalculated for each incoming tick since each new tick is the new close value for that bar. Am I correct?

Thanks

PS. Is there an easy way to see the calculated values for each of my variables in an EA? I know there is data watch but it works for live data and I have my own tick data so I have not made any connection to the broker from my MT4

Hmm... Print(), Alert(), create your own GUI, or write to your own log files?

[ use timer ]

datetime NextSave, LastActiontime;

string LastDate;

if(LastActiontime!=Time[0] || TimeCurrent() > NextSave) {

    LastActiontime=Time[0];

    NextSave = TimeCurrent() + 5;

    

   // some code to execute

}

iMA uses the close for its calculation. The close for the current bar is always changing.
