When a study using sc.GetOHLCForDate() is recalculated, the function returns the open, high, low and close for a specified session. When a study recalculates, the function will use all existing data for the session even before the session has completed. This can cause the study to peek ahead. I discovered this when looking at JSYD's Delta Divergence v5 study which uses sc.GetOHLCForDate() to calculate the daily HH/LL. The study displays very different results during playback/backtesting if the "Use Daily HH/LL" option is selected. Possbly the function could be modified not to use future data. -BD |

We are not understanding this. It is only going to use the data loaded in the chart.

If a study is recalculating and determining the daily open, high, low and close for a bar at 9:00am, the function GetOHLCForDate() will use all data available for the whole session. If the session times for the chart are set to end anytime after 9am, then the function is using future data. -BD |

This make sense. This function is not meant to get data for a particular time. It is meant to get data for an entire Date as the function name implies. Refer to the documentation for it. There is nothing wrong with the function. It works properly.
