I just observed the following behavior: On weekends, it seems that the onBar method gets triggered for every bar that happened since the first weekend flat bar (at friday 20:00 I suppose). Why is that? I thought that onBar (and onTick, didn't check that one) should only be triggered for the last finished bar, but not for the history? I suppose, I have to filter weekends in my code by using that code? : https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/en/devel ... rket-hours thanks! |

This is correct behavior. Strategy will receive all bars even during the weekend. Flat bars on weekend will have equal open, close, high and low prices and 0 volume. And yes weekend can be detected using this: https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/en/devel ... rket-hours |
