how does Optuma handle current bar values?

Optuma Scripting

When I would use OPEN(), HIGH(), LOW(), or CLOSE() functions in a formula, how does the software handle the currently forming bar? Will it reference the previous bar that has already closed?

Hi Krishen,

Those functions will use the values of the currently forming bar. So in a 5 minute watchlist the Open value will change when a new 5 minute bar is formed, but the High and Low may change. Close is the latest price and will constantly change (you could use LAST() instead).
