Mikeel1987 #: Thank you Fernando, I will see what kind of inspiration I can get from the OnCalculate () event handler.

Basically you use a variable to keep track of how many bars you have already processed, so that you don't have to check them again on the next event.

Ok I have a code written that will produce the results I want.  The question I have now is, is there a way to calculate something only once per candle on the global scope.  I don't need it to calculate every tick.  Back testing will take forever if it does it on every tick.

Not in global scope
When a new tick arrives check if it is a new bar and if not stop processing until the next tick
