barsAgo vs barIndex

[Ender Wiggin]

Hi.

I've encountered what I think it's a bug. Creating a simple indicator with this OnBarUpdate:

this.Print( "barsAgo " + this.Input[ 0 ] );
this.Print( "barIndex " + this.Input.GetValueAt( this.CurrentBar ) );

and put it in any chart. Both values should be equal. However, if I configure the indicator in order to use RSI(Instrument,14,3) as input, first print shows maybe 62.328402 but the second one prints 24320, which is the current close value of the underlying instrument.

Can you check this bug on your end?

Thanks.

Hello Ender,

To confirm you have added the RSI to a chart and you are using this as the input series for a custom indicator is this correct?

(edit)

I created a test script and I was able to reproduce.

I have forwarded an inquiry to our development to see if this is expected or a bug and if there is a work around.

I appreciate your patience.
