Hi Ranjeet,

"What does it return when used under onBar and onTick ?"

MarketSeries returns the OHLC and other values of a timeframe as you would have seen then on the chart. It doesn't matter where it is called, the results are the same.

"From the examples why is 'MarketSeries.Close.Count - 2;' used to get indicator data within onBar"

Which example are you referring to?

At what point does onBar get called. What does this mean during backtesting?

On the change of each bar of the selected timeframe

Best Regards,

Thanks for the quick reply. Not sure which example at the moment, will try and find it. 

From what I understand will calling MarketSeries from onBar return the previous OHLC as onBar is called on the open of a new bar.

Does that mean when backtesting from some date to today, the MarketSeries can only return OHLC of the previousday, which makes getting the OHLC of the last candle (todasys candle) not possible?

Hi ranjeet,

That is correct. MarkerSeries can only return data that is known at the moment of the bar change, meaning up to the last closed bar.

Will calling MarketSeries.close from within onBar return the previous data or do I need to 

var index = MarketSeries.close.count - 1;
close = MarketSeries.close[index];

Thanks

Hi Ranjeet,

To get the last bar's close price, try the below

MarketSeries.Close.Last(1)
