Hello,

Background

I have created an acsil study. It creates signals at irregular intervals. For example, it can create a signal after 5 minutes, then the next signal might not generate for 2 hours.

Question

Is it possible through acsil to set custom intervals for numbers bars? Is it possible to have the numbers bars create a new bar with each new custom signal?

Issue
Currently, numbers bars are fixed by time periods. 5m numbers bars, 3pm numbers bars, etc.

Desired outcome
I would like to set custom intervals for numbers bars study. When my custom signal generates, I would like to also have a new numbers bar generate, rather than at the fixed time intervals.

Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you for your help and time.

Re #1 for info:
You do not have to set Numbers Bars to a specific time interval. They can be number of trades, renko, volume etc..
One of these intervals may make it easier to have ACSIL code a new interval and reload when your signal triggers.

Thank you for responding. This might be what I need to create irregular interval bars. I will study this.

Thank you
