session.islastbar - Pine Script Variable

`session.islastbar`

Overview

Returns true if the current bar is the last bar of the day’s session, false otherwise. If extended session information is used, only returns true on the last bar of the post-market bars.

Type

bool

Qualifier

series

Remarks

This variable is not guaranteed to return true once in every session because the last bar of the session might not exist if no trades occur during what should be the session’s last bar.

Examples

Example 1

//@version=6
strategy("`session.islastbar` Example", overlay = true)
longCondition = year >= 2022// Place a long order at the `close` of the trading session's last bar.// The position will enter on the `open` of next session's first bar.
if session.islastbar and longCondition
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long) // Close 'Long' position at the close of the last bar of the trading session
if session.islastbar and barstate.isconfirmed
strategy.close("Long", immediately = true)
