Confused about OnBarUpdate event

[Ravish]

Hi

I have an OnBarUpdate event with a simple print statement in it:

Print("Bar closed -- " + Time[0].ToUniversalTime().ToString() + " -- " + Close[0]);

When I look at the output window, and compare what is printed out with actual price data (on tradingview.com), the time that is printed corresponds to the previous bar's close price.

For example, on the 15M USDZAR chart, you can see the 07h15 AM close price on the 18th of July 2014 was 10.69350. The output window of NT lists these entries however:

Bar closed -- 2014-07-18 07:15:00 AM -- 10.7075
Bar closed -- 2014-07-18 07:30:00 AM -- 10.6935

As you can see, the 07h15 AM close price is listed as the 07h30 AM close price, and so forth.

It makes no difference if I set CalculateOnBarClose to true or false.

Please advise.

Hello Ravish,

Thanks for your post.

NinjaTrader stamps the bar time at the close time of the bar. For example a 15 minute bar that starts on 7:00:01 will show a time on the chart of 07:15.

Here is a link to the help guide explanation of how bars are buit in NinjaTrader: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h..._are_built.htm

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
