Post From: Referencing data using sc.GetExactMatchForSCDateTime

The question is, is an exact match found where -1 is returned.

sc.GetExactMatchForSCDateTime returns an exact match when it DOES NOT return -1.

FWIW : I made a simple loop, looking for a secondary index with an exact same date time start as the main chart bar index.
And it works 100% of the time. As I would expect.
Which means, for me, there is a problem with sc.GetExactMatchForSCDateTime, or a misunderstanding on my side.

With this code : 100% correct indexes.


  for ( int _barIndex = sc.UpdateStartIndex ; _barIndex < sc.ArraySize - 1 ; _barIndex++ )
  {  
    //
    // Handle _barIndex bar
    //
    SCDateTime   _startDateTime     = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[_barIndex];
    
    // compute secondary index (instead of sc.GetExactMatchForSCDateTime)
    int     _proxyStartIndex   = -1;
    for (int _i=0 ; _i < _proxyDateTimeData.GetArraySize() ; _i++)
    {
      if ( _startDateTime == _proxyDateTimeData[_i] )
      {
        _proxyStartIndex = _i;
        break;
      }
    }
    
    if( _proxyStartIndex == -1 )
    {
      logMsg.Format("ERROR : date<%s> _proxyStartIndex<%d>", sc.FormatDateTime(sc.BaseDateTimeIn[_barIndex]).GetChars(), _proxyStartIndex);
      sc.AddMessageToLog(logMsg,0);
      continue;
    }
  }
