Hello Support,

I am using the simple indicator as an example and exercise and try to create my own indicator however I would need only to calculate output on a completed candle and not on every tick price as it is the case in the simpleindicator ?

Also when printing the input arguments of the calculate method on each call and at the beginning of the method startIndex and endIndex I noticed that startIndex value depends on the getLookback value which is coherent with documentation however the endIndex is not always the same and varies between 3995 and 4000 elements on each call of the calculate method? Why is that ? And why is 4000 the maximum it can return ?

Thank you,
cyberalgo

Indicators get recalculated on every tick if you simply don't need the in-progress candle's value you can ignore last element in the array of input values in your calculations.

Usually the maximum number of visible candles on screen is less than 2000 so 4000 is more than enough for an indicator.
