Hi everyone,
I am trying to get the last price from the last working day but I believe I found an error in the data.
Am I doing something wrong?
In the attached backtest I get the last 8 hourly bars of 10 symbols at the end of the last working day. Retrieving less bars results no history at all (Does somebody knows why?).
Taking the last hourly bar I print the time and the close value. The time indicates the last hour of yesterday (Tue 14 Feb 2023) BUT the close for all the symbols corresponds to the day before yesterday (Mon 13 Feb 2023).
Here are the results:
2023-02-14 00:00:00 Last working day: Tuesday 23.02.14
2023-02-14 00:00:00 The Technical filter function will not be executed if this last working day was a holiday

Hi Ana
Data is not available at realtime for backtesting, usually with 24-48 hours delay, live-trading however will not have this limit. Refer to this doc for reference.
