Indicators not showing on last bar

[MrSmartGuy]

Thanks again. No luck with "session template" experiments. It was set to use "use instrument settings," and I tried US Equities (both extended and regular hours) with no change, i.e. indicator still not updated. This is for SPY, so a fairly straightforward instrument.

One further clue -- when I enable my strategies to run on the daily bars, the execution time is 3:00 p.m. central time, which makes sense for SPY. It would seem that if the strategy code thinks that 3:00 is the end of the day, then so should the indicator code.

Although I have a workaround to make progress, I would still like to get to the bottom of it all at some point.

Thank you, koganam. I changed the calculate on bar close property to false and then the indicators appeared. But still, even with the property set to true, should not a daily bar be updated on a Monday morning for Friday's bar, as that bar is closed?

On a daily chart, typically, yes. But it depends on the TradingHours template: as that is what defines the start and end of a new session. What does the terminal date read on your daily chart?

IOW, for stocks, the calendar date will almost always make this true: for some futures, it might not.

Indicators for my charts are not presented for the most recent price bar. For example, on a daily chart, last Friday's price bar is shown, reflecting the day's activity, but none of the companion indicators are shown, last updated for Thursday. Indicators are just simple moving averages and MACD. I have also just done a refresh of the data and chart. Is this correct, or do I need to configure the indicators with an option perhaps?

If CalculateOnBarClose is true, then there will be nothing shown on the forming bar, because it has not closed. Change the CalculateOnBarClose property using the PropertyGrid for the indicators.
