Add problem

[Renejm]

I have data available in NT for the Eurostoxx 50 index from 2003-2013 on minute and day basis. If I open the graph on a daily basis I see all days untill 2003. I have a new indicator using the add command with period.week. If I display Closes[1][0] I see all the closing prices from 2003-2013 changing on a weekly basis. So far so good.

If I add exactly the same with period.week in my strategy and I print Closes[1][0] I notice that my data is only printed from dec 2006 - 2013. I am not able to use dat before dec 2006.

It seems that in the strategy the add command is not loading all available data. The indicator is loading all the data. What could cause the difference, because I will need the weekly data in my strategy? Is there a restriction in the amount of data loaded?

Kind regards,
Rene

Hello,

If you've ensured the start date on the Strategy UI is set properly, one thing to experiment with is the amount of bars that need to be loaded before processing begins.

When using something like

if (CurrentBars[0] < BarsRequired || CurrentBars[1] < BarsRequired)
return;

This will help prevent out of bounds errors but will also mean more time will have passed before bar processing can begin.

Hi, live is unfortunately not that easy. I have already include that check. BarsRequired is only 50 bars, but the Closes[1] is only availbale after 1000 bars and beside that in the indicator it is working ok and the Closes[1] is already availbale after 50 bars. If have checked and have the same problem with other products.

Kind regards,

50 bars would be about 1 year if using weekly data.

Could you post a simplified version of your code that replicates the error you're seeing?
