Question about iOpen (delay of 10-20 seconds to refresh new bar open value)

New comment
 

Hello guys

Have this problem, my EA takes the iOpen value of current bar to decide whether open position or not. But once a new bar is open, it still gets the open value of previous bar until 10-20 seconds in the new bar

Had anyone experience an issue like this? What could it be?


Thanks in advance!

Did I say something about a code? the code it's fine, it's a very simple code, take the open value of current bar, adds some pips and that gives the enter price... And it works just fine AFTER 10-20 seconds of the bar opening... 

I don't want anything done, I'm just fishing here, maybe someone had a similar problem and can give me a hint, it's not your case, ok, good bye to you then

 
  1. Austin Baier: the code it's fine,

    So you say.

  2. Austin Baier: And it works just fine AFTER 10-20 seconds of the bar opening... 

    So you say.

  3. Show your code that shows the problem. Where is your logs that shows the problem. Do you really expect an answer? There are no mind readers here and our crystal balls are cracked.

              My program doesn't work. I think system facility X is broken.

We see this a lot in the forum. Posters don't want to show their code and insist that the problem is not with their code.

In 99.9% of cases, if the poster eventually shows the code, that is where the problem is.

Nobody is likely to guess what the problem is when you don't show your code.

Thanks in advance! 

did you test your EA on different symbols? did they share the same behavior after the tests?

how did you come up with 10-20 seconds? did you literally measure the time?

i simulated your scenario, and it ran fine, it got the right open price using ibarshift on specific trigger time, maybe it's your code
