Plots previous day's open instead of current open

[shipolito]

Hello. Please see attached multi time frame indicator--the intent is to plot a "+" across the entire session
to indicate the developing daily bar's open; however, it is plotting the previous day's open (or previous session open) despite calculateonbarclose being set to false from within the code and from the parameters window.

Thank you in advance for taking the time the look at the code.

Hello shipolito,

Thanks for your post.

In a multiseries script this is expected behavior when looking at historical data. The indicator does not process the historical data on a tick by tick basis, all it knows are the Open, High, Low and Close of the bar and thus historical data is processed as if CalculateOnBarClose=true. With that in mind then as your indicator loads, the only data it has is the open of the day before. It is only when the indicator connects with realtime data that it can then operate in the CalculateOnbarClose = false mode and at that point you should expect to see the "+" shift to the current days open. See attached example.

The bar references in multiseries scripts are well explained in the helpguide here: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nstruments.htm specifically the section: How Bar Data is Referenced

As an alternative, you can use the standard indicator CurrentDayOHL. You can selectively show which of the 3 lines (Open, High, Low) to plot.
