Welcome to tutorial 28 in this series to help you learn TradeStation EasyLanguage programming skills.
This tutorial was created using TradeStation version 8.6. It may not work in other versions – particularly early versions. Intrabarpersist was introduced in Tradestation 8.1. Practical applications include being able to detect whether a cross over occurred within a bar, in other words two calculated lines may cross during the bar – but be un-crossed by the end of the bar.
This video tutorial aims to explain how to use Intrabarpersist variables. Intrabarpersist variables ensure that a variable retains its value within a bar – this is explained in the video with the use of a simple strategy that has Look Inside Bar Back Testing set at the tick level.
