Is MaCurrent really current to the second? or to the beginning of the bar?

Is MaCurrent really current to the second? or to the beginning of the bar?

For instance:
MaCurrent=iMA(NULL,0,MATrendPeriod,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
MaPrevious=iMA(NULL,0,MATrendPeriod,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);

If I were to do
//---- sell conditions
if(MaCurrent<MaPrevious)

1) Would it look at the EMA for that exact second, and compare it to MaPrevious?

2) Is MaPrevious the EMA position exactly 1 bar ago? (for example if the chart is running on 1hr, and the current time happens to be in the middle of the current bar, would MaPrevious be in the middle of the previous hour bar? (exactly one hour ago?)

thanks!
 
nevermind, i figured it out. It really is current to the second
 
Current bar is always in progress. Its values (and indicators values on the current bar) are changed with every incoming tick
