Symr New Bar Strategy

The Symr New Bar Strategy demonstrates how to detect the beginning of new candles across multiple timeframes using a single subscription. The strategy monitors a base timeframe and calculates when larger intervals such as 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1d, 20m and 55m begin. Each detected bar is logged.

Details

  • Entry Criteria: None. The strategy does not place trades.
  • Exit Criteria: None.
  • Long/Short: Not applicable.
  • Stops: No stops are used.

Parameters

Name Default Description
CandleType TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1).TimeFrame() Base timeframe for new bar detection.

Notes

  • Stores the last open time for each predefined period.
  • When the base period advances, larger periods are evaluated and logged if they roll over.
  • Useful as a template for multi-timeframe event handling.
