Missing last history bar.

[qfweiwei]

I am new to NinjaTrader amd working on some testing strategy. Today, I created a custom strategy to print history data of a stock from 2010-01-01 to 2010-10-15. In OnBarUpdate() process, I am using following code to print Currentbar, Date, and Count.
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
Print("The CurrentBar is " + CurrentBar.ToString() + ". The date is " + Time[0].Date.ToString() + ". The Count is " + Count.ToString() + ".");
}

From the Output window, I saw the last line is as following.
The CurrentBar is 197. The date is 2010-10-14 12:00:00 AM. The Count is 199.

Actually, I expexted the last line in Output window should be something like:
The CurrentBar is 198. The date is 2010-10-15 12:00:00 AM. The Count is 199.

It looks like the last bar 198 as of 2010-10-15 is missing. Did I do something wrong in code? How can I get the missed last bar?

By the way, I did set "CalculateOnBarClose = true;" in Initialize() process.

Thanks.

qfweiwei, welcome to our forums and NinjaScript - you would need to work with CalculalteOnBarClose set to false to access the last 'developing' bar on the chart.

Hi Bertrand,

Thanks for your kind reply. I set CalculateOnBarClose to be false, and ran again with From date as 2010-01-01 and To date as 2010-10-19. This time, I get the last line of bar 198 as of 2010-10-15 as following.

The CurrentBar is 198. The date is 2010-10-15 12:00:00 AM. The Count is 199.

However, I did not see line for today as of 2010-10-18. Furthermore, the Count is still 199 rather than 200. Do I need to do something else? By the way, I am using IB data feed.

Thanks,
weiwei

weiwei, this is expected - the count would always be larger than the CurrentBar - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h.../nt7/count.htm

I'm not sure where and in which timezone you're based, but today would be the 19th - can you please check the current PC clock & data and sync them up if needed?

For IB data this is the reference to stamp your bars, as they would not provide a native timestamp.

Thanks
