Hi, I use this to calculate my SMA:

indicators.sma(instrument,Period.DAILY, OfferSide.BID, IIndicators.AppliedPrice.OPEN, MAPeriod, 0)


The MAPeriod is 14 (on EUR/USD)

On the backtest chart, however, I use a SMA of the same period and Open price.

For instance, 15 nov 2012, calculated is 1.27718, on-chart is 1.27992 and so on...

What do I do wrong ?

The chances are that it is due to different filters, see:

Note that calculation by shift uses the Filter.NO_FILTER, see:

how do I bring that and my code to get the same result ?


P.S. Can you explain what the Period.DAILY_SKIP_SUNDAY and Period.DAILY_SUNDAY_IN_MONDAY are supposed to mean ?

It corresponds the settings in the platform in Tools -> Preferences -> Charts -> Sunday Daily Candles Filtration. Make sure the period you use matches the platform setting.
