Bars.GetClose(0) or Close[0]

[pstrusi]

A little confused by this new way to get the same info.

I'd like to know why this ? which one is more accurate, reliable and fast ?

Under what conditions should I use or the other?

Thanks

Hello pstrusi,

Close would take a bars ago value whereas Bars.GetClose takes an absolute barIndex.

For example the following code in an indicator would print the first close on a chart, and would not change,

Print(Bars.GetClose(0));

While the following would print every close starting to from the left moving to the right.
Print(Close[0]);

If you were to pass the CurrentBar into GetClose, they would be the same. Please see the following explanation,
