OnCalculate question

Hello,

my question is about the order of prices in price arrays passed to OnCalcuate. I know, there are many tags for this subject, however,

my problem is this:

Now the problem: The sample below outputs on each tick CURRENT close and also "as series". I thought §as series§ means that LATEST value always indexed=0 ? Can anyone clarify ? (close[0] returns always stale or very old value)

int OnCalculate (const int rates_total,      // size of input timeseries
                 const int prev_calculated,  // bars handled in previous call
                 const datetime& time[],     // Time
                 const double& open[],       // Open
                 const double& high[],       // High
                 const double& low[],        // Low
                 const double& close[],      // Close
                 const long& tick_volume[],  // Tick Volume
                 const long& volume[],       // Real Volume
                 const int& spread[]         // Spread
   )

{
    int begin=0;
     
    if(rates_total < period_momentum-1+begin)
    {
        
        return(0);// not enough bars for calculation
    }
    

    string msg=StringFormat("close[0]=%.5f close[%d]=%.5f"
                       ,close[0],rates_total-1,close[rates_total-1]);              
    Print(msg);

    if(ArrayIsSeries(close) == true)
            Print("as series");
    

    return(rates_total);
}
