Negative value of Bars.PercentComplete

[kl3333]

It was my understanding that Bars.PercentComplete should have values between 0 and 1. However, it seems to be taking negative values and the actual range of values changes slightly on different runs (or different days). Yesterday it was moving in the range from -5% to 95%. Today it seems to be in the range of -8% to 92%. I am using my indicator on the 1-minute bar chart for ES. My code is very straight-forward:

if (State == State.Realtime)
{
    Draw.TextFixed(this, "barstatus", Bars.PercentComplete.ToString("P0"), TextPosition.TopRight);
    // other code
}

Is this by design, or is this a defect? If by design, please explain the logic of defining the range of possible values for Bars.PercentComplete. Thank you.

Hello kl3333,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

I've given a test but was not able to reproduce.

Are you also seeing the BarTimer indicator included with NinjaTrader counting down to 0 and starting a new bar improperly?

Is your PC Clock in sync with internet time to the second?
Compare your PC Clock with https://www.time.gov/

If you are not in sync:

• Shutdown NinjaTrader
• Navigate to the Windows Control Panel
• Select Clock and Region -> then click 'Set the time and date'
  (Or click 'Date and Time' if this is visible)
• Click on Internet Time tab
• In the Server: drop-down select time.nist.gov
• Click Update
• If the message that appears says successful your PC clock should now be updated
  If not, select a different server from the Server: drop-down and try again (repeat until one of the servers is successful)
• Restart NinjaTrader
• Connect to a data feed, then right-click the chart and select Reload All Historical Data

Below are a few links to 3rd party educational sites with steps to synchronize with internet time.

After syncing the PC clock, please let me know if this has not resolved the issue.

Thank you, Chelsea. My local PC clock was a few seconds off. I have synchronized it with the internet time and the issue has disappeared. Thanks again for your help.
