---------------------
First of all, here's highlights of my MA window config:
Column1 -> Instrument
Column 2 -> LastTime on 1-day bars
Column 3 -> LastTime on 2-day bars
Column 4 -> SMA(1) on 2-day bars
Calculate on bar close = false for all indicator columns
Session end time is set to 1:30pm local time and I'm testing it every time at 6pm
Looking back 10 bars
LastTime indicator is merely displaying current date in format yyyymmdd (i.e. numerical value Time[0].Year*10000 + Time[0].Month*100 + Time[0].Date)
Beforehand I wiped out db clean, reinstalled NT fresh. Market data for all stocks I'm monitoring (A, AAPL, ABC) goes back same amount of bars and was acquired on same day from same provider.
----------------------
Problem #1:
Column 4 always displays closing price of yesterday's bar (while it should be half of the time today's and half of the time yesterday's close, I'd presume). So it's clearly not working right, and needless to say, this permanent 1-day lag makes any indicator useless.
Problem #2:
While Column 4 display is wrong it's at least consistent. But while Column 2 always correctly shows today's date, reading from Column 3 can be *randomly* anywhere between 1 day ago and 1 day into the future (varied for different stocks and different days).
I believe screenshots are unnecessary here since they'll reveal less information than words in this situation. Please advise.
