Strategy calclulated vs. chart displayed values are different

[mypkonline]

Hi,
I am noticing SMA/EMA 50 on daily and 60 Minutes charts have different values than the ones that are calculated in my strategy.

Code:

Ofile.WriteLine("\r\nDaily EMA50="+EMA(BarsArray[1],50)[0]);
Ofile.WriteLine("\r\nDaily SMA50="+SMA(BarsArray[1],50)[0]);                    
Ofile.WriteLine("\r\n60 Min EMA50="+EMA(BarsArray[2],50)[0]);
Ofile.WriteLine("\r\n60 Min SMA50="+SMA(BarsArray[2],50)[0]);

Results:

Current Price=13340

Daily EMA50=13034.44

OPEN P5 =13324 HIGH P5 =13360 LOW P5 =13287 CLOSE P5 =13321 RANGE P5 =73

Note: I have used both Zenfire and IB's data feed and the calculated results are off than then the values displayed in chart.

Can anyone help shed some light on this?

regards,

What are the values on the chart? How much is it off? Did you include that? Sorry if I'm missing something.

What is the purpose of Average_range and Open P0, etc?

Sorry, please ignore the other values (copy/paste).

Let's look at the daily EMA data at 1PM today for YM 03-13, it is off by 60 Ticks. Also, 60 minutes data was off by ~ 4 ticks.

Daily Chart Value = 13094

60 Min EMA50=13328.98
60 Min Chart Value 13331

I don't see the same behavior here.

Could it be the indicator on the chart is set to CalculateOnBarClose = true, while the strategy is on COBC = false?

I'd also suggest adding the strategy to the same exact chart you're looking at the indicators to ensure they're looking at the same exact data points. For example, since you're looking at a 50 Period Daily SMA, you'd need to sure there are enough daily bars to come up with the correct figures.

Thanks Matthew,

No, I have both places CBOC set to false. The chart and the strategy.

Could this has to do with how the daily candles are formed. Different Close times?

I am testing with Zenfire and IB data feeds .

My template from instrument manager set to for YM CME US Futures Index ETH.
My Chart UI is set to "Use Instrument setting ".
My Chart Indicators are set to COBC false.
My Minimum bars required are set to 10 and days to load is 50
Strategy has enough bars as I check for

if (CurrentBars[1] < BarsRequired) {Print(Instrument.FullName+" Getting Bars[1] Required"); return;}
