Hi guys, I'm coding a custom chart using the overidden plot function and I'm using BarsArray[0] to calculate my indicators and plot them.
I loaded a EURUSD daily data series, Days to Load = 14, End Date = 5/9/2012 in a Default 24/7 Template.
The EURUSD chart painted 10 candles on the daily chart, the days plotted are 26 APR,27 APR,28 APR,1 MAY,2 MAY,3 MAY,4 MAY,5 MAY,8 MAY,9 MAY as shown below.
In the overidden plot function, my code read the very first value from BarsArray[0].GetTime(0) (when i=0) i.e. the very first date loaded, and the date shows 25 Apr 12. However, if you recall, my chart shows the first candle as 26 Apr 12 (seen from the NT data box above) . My code is as follows:
The codes above can be read in the below context :
Pl can someone clarify why the first bar painted on my chart does not have the same date as the first bar in my BarsArray? Am I missing something here?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

int TotalBars = BarsArray[0].Count;
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
