OnBar() data incorrect / wrong / bad

Hi buccinator,

Your values do not match because you are printing the close value of the current bar which will probably change when the bar closes. See below how you should have implemented this test

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Put your initialization logic here
        }

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            int index = MarketSeries.Close.Count - 2;
            int Bot_IndexLast = index - 1;

            // Put your core logic here
            Print("-----------------");
            Print("MarketSeries.Close[{0}] = {1}", Bot_IndexLast, MarketSeries.Close[Bot_IndexLast]);
            Print("MarketSeries.Close[{0}] = {1}", index, MarketSeries.Close[index]);

        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Put your deinitialization logic here
        }
    }

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

i see, my bad, thank you for the confirmation. i only raised this because i when i last coded (few months ago) i did not notice this behaviour. it seemed to be that the next/current OnBar() was already closed. i understand now that the next/current OnBar() is not closed until the next cycle. once again, thank you for the confirmation.
