Just found out the strange issue:

#region Using declarations

using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using NinjaTrader.Cbi;
using NinjaTrader.Data;

using NinjaTrader.Strategy;
#endregion

namespace NinjaTrader.Strategy
{
    [Description("Enter the description of your strategy here")]
    public class AAATest : Strategy
    {
        #region Variables
        private DataSeries plot, plot1;
        #endregion

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            CalculateOnBarClose = true;
            plot     = new DataSeries(this);
            plot1    = new DataSeries(this);
        }

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            plot1.Set(5);
            plot.Set(SMA(plot1, 5)[0]);
            
        Print("** " + plot1[0] + " " + plot1[1] + " " + plot1[2] + " " + plot1[3] + " " + plot1[4] +" **  = Last 5 values of plot1");
        Print(" ");
        Print("-- " + plot[0] + " -- " + SMA(plot1, 5)[0] + " ----  == SMA(plot1, 5)[0]");
        Print(" ");
        Print(" ");
        Print(" ");
        Print(" ");
        }

    }
}

Output:

** 5 5 5 5 5 ** = Last 5 values of plot1

-- -388 ---388 ---- == SMA(plot1, 5)[0]




** 5 5 5 5 5 ** = Last 5 values of plot1

-- -389 ---389 ---- == SMA(plot1, 5)[0]




** 5 5 5 5 5 ** = Last 5 values of plot1

-- -390 ---390 ---- == SMA(plot1, 5)[0]



Something is not right

Thanks for looking

roonius, which market and timeframe did you test this on? On the TD 5min I get this output from exactly your code -

 
** 5 0 0 0 0 **  = Last 5 values of plot1
 
-- 1 -- 1 ----  == SMA(plot1, 5)[0]
 
 
 
 
** 5 5 0 0 0 **  = Last 5 values of plot1
 
-- 2 -- 2 ----  == SMA(plot1, 5)[0]
 
 
 
 
** 5 5 5 0 0 **  = Last 5 values of plot1
 
-- 3 -- 3 ----  == SMA(plot1, 5)[0]
 
 
 
 
** 5 5 5 5 0 **  = Last 5 values of plot1
 
-- 4 -- 4 ----  == SMA(plot1, 5)[0]
 
 
 
 
** 5 5 5 5 5 **  = Last 5 values of plot1
 
-- 5 -- 5 ----  == SMA(plot1, 5)[0]
 
 
 
 
** 5 5 5 5 5 **  = Last 5 values of plot1
 
-- 5 -- 5 ----  == SMA(plot1, 5)[0]
 
 
 
 
** 5 5 5 5 5 **  = Last 5 values of plot1
 
-- 5 -- 5 ----  == SMA(plot1, 5)[0]

I tested on CL 10-09 1 tick.

Ok thanks roonius, which CalculateOnBarClose setting?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

roonius, finally I could see this on my end for 6.5.1000.12 - this will be fixed with NinjaTrader 7, thanks for posting this.

CalculateOnBarClose = true

[roonius]

I thought that it only affects strategies, but...

Something changed in the recent releases - it brakes indicators and strategies which are using SMA and set to calculateonbarclose = false;
attached code is totally stripped indicator which does not work when calculateonbarclose set to false.

roonius, I'm not aware of changes in recent releaes - however the reported issue will be fixed with NinjaTrader 7
