Hi,

I'm making a new strategy and try to use PriorDayOHLC, when I backtest it with 5 min. chart over 2 days no returnvalues are given, what do I do wrong?

Please ensure you have data for the previous day.

No errormessages in the Log tab of control center.

When I run it for 2 days 18-6-2008 until 19-6-2008 I get no PriordayOHLC.
Running from 18-6-2008 until 22-6-2008 I do get PriordayOHLC for 22-6.

As this date, 19-6 was also expire date for the contract tried, I also to backtest 22-6 until 23-6: no Priorday data. Backtest from 22-6 until 24-6: Priorday data for the 24-6.

Conclusion as of the 3rd date of my backtestperiod I have priorday data? I was hoping that it would be available from the 2nd day.

I need to write some statements to get around it.

Hi clint2008,

You should not need 3 days of data for this indicator to work. The easiest way for you to check this is simply to throw the indicator onto a chart and see it from there. Please ensure you are on the latest NT build.
