NT7 b20 Pivots do not return values

[Harry]

Harry, thanks for providing the snippet - looking into it now.

Hi Bertrand, could you reproduce the problem?

This is simply a race condition for the async nature of the scenario you have. When you are connected the loading of data is simply not fast enough to be done before the calculations thus you end up with 0 as your values. When you are not connected and everything is off the repository it is able to grab values earlier and actually get that done for some historical bars. It is simply not fast enough to be able to grab it for historical bars when connected, but it will work on real-time events that come up afterwards once everything gets done.

How shall I handle that? I know three other traders who have a problem with this specific issue, strategies not running, charts not being displayed. What would you suggest to make it work?

An easy way to beat the async nature of things is pushing the scenario to be a more "synced" scenario by using HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData instead.

I am aware of this, but this results in false pivots, as the settlement price is only available from daily data. So how can I access the correct pivots in DailyBars mode? Besides, I have a number of other indicators that use daily data and suffer from the same problem.

Harry, one way would be using a Pivots indicator that uses the MultiSeries concept, thus not running into the async series loading issues.
