Hallo team, why sometime the last bar close is not get?
i did very simple commentary:

If AtCommentaryBar then begin
Vars:Str("");
str=Str+" ****************************************"+NewLine;
str=Str+" commentary relativo a PROVA"+NewLine;
str=Str+" Close = "+NumToStr(close ,3)+NewLine;
str=Str+" barstatus = "+NumToStr(barstatus ,3)+NewLine;
Commentary(str);
end;

I applied this to weekly metastock chart.

i see the close of last but one bar, but i see no signal applied on last bar.

strange thing is that if i wait 10 minutes after i will see also the last bar.

Hello waldem,

The weekly bars from MetaStock are closed after a 10-minute timeout after the session is closed.
While the last bar is open, it is expected that the signal is not calculated on it.

To have the study calculated on the last weekly bar you can try to create an Indicator with the same logic, apply it to the chart, in Format Indicators > Properties tab enable Update on Every Tick.
