I don't see the last value of an indicator

[jrbolsa]

What i mean is that i don't see the value of any indicator for the last bar in the chart.
I discovered that programming another indicator in weekly bars, but when i tried to prove with something as simple as "Plot0.Set(Close[0])" i don't see the last close.
I selected another indicator (propietary, not mine: ATR) in daily bars for the sp500 and the last value that i can see is "28,33" that corresponds to april 2nd (not april 3rd).
I suppose i have something bad configured.

¿Could you help?

Fixed problem.
I changed "CalculateOnBarClose" to false and although it didn't run at the beginning, NT restarted (with an error) and after that, everything works ok.

I still don't understand why the last bar on the chart is not considered as "closed".

The bar is closed only when you have a first tick for a new bar

[jrbolsa]

I agree with you.

i agree with yuvalw. The indicator - or oscillator - must oscillate. If the last tick of the last bar is X, it should be considered the close. If one second later there is one more tick X' then this should be considered the new close so the oscillator should change its last value. That's all, i think.
Nevertheless, once understood how this runs, it's ok for me too.

Great you got it working jrbolsa, you're correct the behaviour is determined with the CalculateOnBarClose setting - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...BarClose1.html

The doc says (on CalculateOnBarClose) :
"When indicators or strategies are running on historical data, OnBarUpdate() is only called on the close of each historical bar even if this property is set to false."

I am allways using historical data and still I need to change CalculateOnBarClose=False in order to get the last value of any indicator...

yuvalw,

In a historical backtest it does not matter which CalculateOnBarClose setting you choose because it will always be using it as true. It is always accessing the latest value at any point in time of a backtest.
