Hi there,

I'm new at NinjaTrader and NinjaScript. However, I have experince in MetaTrader, so I'm not completely foreign to trade programming.

I've installed NT and connected to Yahoo for daily data.

I created an indicator that has the following line in it to print bar data on th chart:

Print(CurrentBar.ToString() + " " + ToDay(Time[0]) + " Open: " + Open[0].ToString() + " Close: " + Close[0].ToString());

and here's the last part of output as of today (June 1st) for symbol INTC:
....
....
242 20100517 Open: 21.75 Close: 22.02
243 20100518 Open: 22.14 Close: 21.43
244 20100519 Open: 21.52 Close: 21.6
245 20100520 Open: 21.02 Close: 20.79
246 20100521 Open: 20.41 Close: 20.91
247 20100524 Open: 20.95 Close: 20.67
248 20100525 Open: 20.12 Close: 20.85
249 20100526 Open: 21.1 Close: 20.7
250 20100527 Open: 21.16 Close: 21.76

My question is : where is May 28th data?
Considering yesterday was a holiday, May 28th is the last bar, and I can see May 28th bar on the chart. In fact, when I insert a SMA into the chart, I can see that the SMA is not plotted for May28th either.

I'm sure I'm missing something here, any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick.

Hi 10percent, and welcome to the forums!

It looks like the last available day using the Yahoo feed is May 28th, so this is treated as the current bar.

You will need to change the CaculateOnBarClose setting (Right click>Indicators) to false. Or change this in your code.

Tim, thanks for quick reply.

I had added

CalculateOnBarClose = false;

in my code, but I kept pressing F5 on the chart to receive the changes.
I removed the indicator and added back on, now It works.

Nick.
