Why always shows the open price???
27 Jul 2020, 10:25

Hi there,

I'm trying to write a program to trade my DAX30.4H

Here is the problem.

I want to print out the last bar "close price" but it always shows the "open price".

there is the code.

Print("closeprice: " + Bars.ClosePrices);

Please advice, thank you!

Mason

Hi pankuolung0804,

Try the below

Print("closeprice: " + Bars.ClosePrices.Last(1));

Thanks your info.

It looks work, does the cTrader can't handle the last bar close? it can handle the previous bar close?

Thank you!

Hi pankuolung0804,

If you mean the current bar then use Last(0).

Please see the image. if I use the last(0), it always shows the open price? is the backtest setting problem(open price data)?

Hi pankuolung0804,

If you use the code in OnBar then this is what you should expect. When the bar opens then the close price is the same with the open price.
