    OnBarUpdate firing out of sequence ?

    I have an indicator (see code below) on a 1 minute chart on YM. The indicator adds a 1 day data series of the primary series. Data feed is IQFeed.

    Trading hours for the primary instrument is CME US Index Futures ETH and this is occurring after the close of RTH.

    I get the debug output below. Why is the CurrentBar 3 datetime stamp later than the datetime stamp of CurrentBar 4 ?

    OnBarUpdate Time=9/22/2016 5:00:00 PM State=Historical CurrentBar=0 BarsInProgress=1
    OnBarUpdate Time=9/23/2016 5:00:00 PM State=Historical CurrentBar=1 BarsInProgress=1
    OnBarUpdate Time=9/26/2016 5:00:00 PM State=Historical CurrentBar=2 BarsInProgress=1
    OnBarUpdate Time=9/28/2016 5:00:00 PM State=Historical CurrentBar=3 BarsInProgress=1
    OnBarUpdate Time=9/27/2016 5:00:00 PM State=Historical CurrentBar=4 BarsInProgress=1

    I noticed that a while back when I was getting unexpected trade action as I was generating the signal on the higher timeframe, and executing the trades on the faster timeframe. You are going to have to code around it. The order in which the ticks arrive in OnBarUpdate() is not guaranteed. It is just the way it is.

      Thanks Osikani.

      What is really odd, and I just realized this, is the OnBarUpdate is reporting a bar on the 28th and it was still the 27th when the script was running. It wasn't even the 28th yet...

      After a reboot and a restart of Ninja the script is now reporting this on the 28th:

      OnBarUpdate Time=9/23/2016 5:00:00 PM State=Historical CurrentBar=0 BarsInProgress=1
      OnBarUpdate Time=9/26/2016 5:00:00 PM State=Historical CurrentBar=1 BarsInProgress=1
      OnBarUpdate Time=9/27/2016 5:00:00 PM State=Historical CurrentBar=2 BarsInProgress=1

        Since I believe these two threads are related, I would like to redirect the community's attention to this thread.
