Difference between Bars[index].OpenTime and Server.Time for an Indicator on Tick
02 Mar 2021, 20:35

In an indicator set to 1 Tick:

public override void Calculate(int i)
{
    Print(Bars[i].OpenTime + "," + Server.Time);
}

Shouldn't the time be the same? Also, which time (OpenTime or Server.Time) is the one representing the tick time?

(I am using cTrader 3.8)

Hi JeanPaul,

It seems that you are comparing historical times with the current time. Server.Time always displays the current time so it should be aligned with the last bar only. See below
