Bars.GetDayBar Question

[mgabriel01]

Hi
I wrote this code - expecting to see the Bars.GeDayBar(1) return data from the prior day.

if (Bars.GetDayBar(1) != null)
{
writeit1 =
"Today : "+Time[0].DayOfWeek+" "+Time[0].Date.ToShortDateString()+" "+Time[0].TimeOfDay.ToString()
+";" +Bars.GetDayBar(1).Time.ToLongDateString()
+";" +Bars.GetDayBar(1).Open.ToString()
+";" +Bars.GetDayBar(1).High.ToString()
+";" +Bars.GetDayBar(1).Low.ToString()
+";" +Bars.GetDayBar(1).Close.ToString()
+";" +Bars.GetDayBar(1).Volume.ToString()
+";" +Bars.GetDayBar(1).FirstBarOfSession.ToString()
+Environment.NewLine;

Print (writeit1);



Instead - it appears that Bars.GetDayBar(1) is returning data from 3 days prior. Here is the output to the output window:

Today : Tuesday 3/5/2013 00:00:00;Friday, March 01, 2013;1500.75;1513;1494;1510.75;8886;False

Today : Thursday 3/7/2013 00:00:00;Monday, March 04, 2013;1507.25;1520.5;1505.25;1520.5;12829;False

The code you have here appears to be working correctly on my end.

Have you ensured the data is available on the chart being used? When you right click the chart -> reload historical data does this resolve the issue?

Who is your data provider?

What instrument are you testing?

What session template are you using?

Lance - I have attached a .JPG of the chart and the data series settings
Instrument ES0613
Provider Zenfire
Session Template Default 24*7

There should be plenty of data in the chart (see .jpg) -- I tried reloading historical data and got the same result
Thanks

I'm loaded up Zen-Fire with the same chart as you and receive the following when running the following script

if (Bars.GetDayBar(1) != null) 
			{
				writeit1 =
				"Today : "+Time[0].DayOfWeek+" "+Time[0].Date.ToShortDateString()+" "+Time[0].TimeOfDay.ToString()
				+"; Yesterday:  " +Bars.GetDayBar(1).Time.ToLongDateString()
				+";" +Bars.GetDayBar(1).FirstBarOfSession.ToString();

				Print (writeit1);
			}

Output:

Today : Thursday 3/21/2013 22:00:00; Yesterday: Wednesday, March 20, 2013;False
Today : Friday 3/22/2013 22:00:00; Yesterday: Thursday, March 21, 2013;False
Today : Monday 3/25/2013 22:00:00; Yesterday: Friday, March 22, 2013;False
Today : Tuesday 3/26/2013 22:00:00; Yesterday: Monday, March 25, 2013;False
Today : Wednesday 3/27/2013 22:00:00; Yesterday: Tuesday, March 26, 2013;False
Today : Thursday 3/28/2013 22:00:00; Yesterday: Wednesday, March 27, 2013;False

If you're not getting this please try posting the exact script you're using or see how my script differs from yours.

I repaired the DB, reset the DB and reset the instrument list
The problem has gone away!
Thanks!
