I understand that Tech Indicators are calculated at the end of the bar when you choose "Close". That means you have to wait to next bar to have the indicator updated.
If I change to "Open", will I get the update or calculation of the indicator at the beginning of the bar?
Any chance to get " Last Trade" data price instead of only "Open, Close, High, Low" to calculate any indicator?
Thanks.

Indicators are
always calculated at the end of the bar, regardless of what DataSeries you choose (in an indicator that supports it). Please see this FAQ on how the process is in Wealth-Lab:
Is it necessary to have access to intra-bar tick data to daytrade with Wealth-Lab?It's pretty simple and as you now see, there's no room for "Last Trade" in Wealth-Lab's Strategy execution - with GetSessionOpen (Open.PartialValue) being one exception for EOD strategies executing near the open to get today's open price.

so, is there any way to get updated indicators with the current price?
btw, I went quick thru GetSessionOpen but it seems useful for EOD not intraday. or can it be use (this exception) for each bar?

1 - As per the FAQ that states it very clearly, there's no room for "updated indicators with the current price". What's the point in having them if the Strategy is always executed at the end of the bar?
2 - GetSessionOpen is for EOD strategies only.

Eugene, the point is you can trigger an order or action when something is "crossing" or "reaching" instead of ' it crossed'/'reached'. Very important for intraday and mkt full of algos. At least my view.
