But only on time-based charts. On tick-based charts it will be true for every bar with the same last date/time stamp.

The following will get you the first bar with the last data/time stamp but I know of no way to get the true last bar.

Vars: LbInit(TRUE);

if LbInit and LastBarOnChart then begin
   LbInit = FALSE;
   .....
end;
