Indicator not printing the last bar to the output window

[GKonheiser]

I am using the below code to print certain indicators to the output window, however it never prints data for the last bar in a contract??

Anyone know why?

Thanks

Hello GKonheiser,
Please set CalculateOnBarClose to false to print out the values of the last/running bar. You can do it either by setting CalculateOnBarClose to false from the indicator parameter box or append the below code in the Initialzie section of the code:

CalculateOnBarClose = false;

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

Does this have any implications for all of the other data, does changing that setting alter the other data?

[NinjaTrader_Joydeep]

Hello GKonheiser,
It will not alter the data, but it will calculate the indicator on every incoming tick, which can be resource heavy if you have a complex indicator.

If you set CalculateOnBarClose to true, it will calculate the values only once, at the end of the bar.
