Hi, I am using 60 minute Forex intraday data using Dukascopy.

When I backtest from the strategy my charts have 1 bar less than the actual chart data (as in I can simply click the data symbol like EUR/USD and there is an extra bar). However when I use the strategy monitor it seems to have the latest as I can get trade signals from the monitor but no signals from the chart window. I've looked at the live Dukascopy Forex data so I know the actual chart data when viewed alone and not from a backtest strategy is correct. What is causing the 1 bar lag in strategy backtesting. I am seeing this error for all my Forex strategies using 60 minute charts. Thanks much

How is the Strategy Monitor configured?
a) streaming, polling, streaming bars
b) streaming source

In other words, it gets the bar for EUR/USD from another source. Historical providers like Dukascopy remove the partial bar, so you may treat this as the delay.

The data is cached when you Run Strategy. If you want reload or load updated bars, click on the "n Symbols(s) Loaded" message in the lower left status bar and then Run Strategy.
