If you want to produce a tick after the close, as kaizen mentions, you'll have to generate your own event or use a timer or some other work around to make this happen since we don't have any mechanism that's automatic.<br><br>[quote][b]invingator (3/17/2010)[/b][hr]Hi billb,<br><br>Could you please expound further on how you could see a solution to this problem using "create ticks from bars"?<br><br>Thanks![/quote]Thu, 18 Mar 2010 11:07:17 GMTbillbhttp://www.rightedgesystems.com/forums/Topic11038-9-1.aspxHi billb,<br><br>Could you please expound further on how you could see a solution to this problem using "create ticks from bars"?<br><br>Thanks!Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:25:26 GMTinvingatorhttp://www.rightedgesystems.com/forums/Topic11038-9-1.aspxHi kaizen,<br><br>Could you please expound a bit / add some clarifying comments/code on how you got around this problem? My solution is EOD only, and, while I jumped over the other blocks, I kind of hit the wall with this one...<br><br>Thanks!Mon, 08 Mar 2010 05:45:31 GMTinvingatorhttp://www.rightedgesystems.com/forums/Topic11038-9-1.aspxI think this should be added as a feature. For people that trade end of day it is going to be a reoccurring question/problem.<br><br>We have added timers and other code to get around this but a built in solution would be much better.<br><br>Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:37:24 GMTkaizenhttp://www.rightedgesystems.com/forums/Topic11038-9-1.aspxThere is not a way to force a time on a daily bar. If you're using create ticks from bars, you'll get 4 ticks on a daily bar (open, high, low, close). You could theoretically produce your own event that occurs after the close bar hits.<br><br>Would that help?<br><br>[quote][b]invingator (3/4/2010)[/b][hr]Is there a way to have a daily trading strategy where RightEdge fires the NewBar() event/method at a time other than midnight?
