I am trying to use a custom indicator in a strategy to backtest using a 4 hour period. I am attempting to calculate the current and previous indicator value using the following code...
Object[] result = indicators.calculateIndicator(instrument, period, new OfferSide[] {offerSide},"MyIndicator", new IIndicators.AppliedPrice[]{appliedPrice}, new Object[]{macd1Fast,macd1Slow, macd2Fast, macd2Slow, maType.ordinal(),maType2.ordinal()}, Filter.WEEKENDS, 2, bar.getTime(), 0);
Where the period is the 4 hour period. I call this every 5 minutes.
When I run the strategy using a demo account, the returned indicator values are correct. The following shows the current value of the indicator calculated every five minutes when running the strategy in a demo account...

When I run the strategy using the historical tester, I get the same result returned every five minutes for the entire 4 hour candle. The calculated values represent the calculated value at the end of the 4 hour candle (the strategy in effect sees 4 hours ahead at the start of the 4 hour candle)

How can I correctly calculate the current and previous value of the indicator with a 4 hour period every 5 minutes using the historical tester?
