OnBarUpdate()

Definition
The OnBarUpdate() method is called whenever a bar is updated. If the "CalculateOnBarClose" property is set to true, it is only called on the close of each bar, otherwise it is called on each incoming tick. This is the method where all of your strategy or indicator core calculation logic should be contained.

For mult-timeframe and instrument strategies, this method is called for each Bars object of a strategy and you MUST filter for the exact bar update events using the "BarsInProgress" property you want your system logic to execute against.

        Print("The current bar's low price is greater");
}
