Differences in closing prices between Daily and last 5-minute candles

  I coded this strategy, but it seems there are differences on the charts, on AAPL the Daily chart reports CLOSE as a price, while last the 5-Minute bar of the day reports a different price, though it is the same instrument and day (the closing price should be the same for all candlesticks that close when the Daily candle closes).
  Any idea why?

  IF BarIndex = 0 THEN IeriO = open IeriH = high IeriL = low IeriC = close OggiO = open OggiH = high OggiL = low OggiC = close ENDIF IF (OpenTime = 000000) OR ((OpenTime >= 000000) AND (OpenTime[1] > OpenTime)) THEN IeriO = OggiO IeriH = OggiH IeriL = OggiL IeriC = OggiC OggiO = open OggiH = high OggiL = low ENDIF OggiC = close OggiH = max(OggiH,high) OggiL = min(OggiL,low) buy at -close limit GRAPHONPRICE IeriO coloured(0,0,0,255) AS "O" GRAPHONPRICE IeriH coloured(0,255,0,255) AS "H" GRAPHONPRICE IeriL coloured(255,0,0,255) AS "L" GRAPHONPRICE IeriC coloured(0,0,0,255) AS "C" graph IeriC graph OggiC

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

  IF BarIndex = 0 THEN IeriO = open IeriH = high IeriL = low IeriC = close OggiO = open OggiH = high OggiL = low OggiC = close ENDIF IF (OpenTime = 000000) OR ((OpenTime >= 000000) AND (OpenTime[1] > OpenTime)) THEN IeriO = OggiO IeriH = OggiH IeriL = OggiL IeriC = OggiC OggiO = open OggiH = high OggiL = low ENDIF OggiC = close OggiH = max(OggiH,high) OggiL = min(OggiL,low) buy at -close limit GRAPHONPRICE IeriO coloured(0,0,0,255)   AS "O" GRAPHONPRICE IeriH coloured(0,255,0,255) AS "H" GRAPHONPRICE IeriL coloured(255,0,0,255) AS "L" GRAPHONPRICE IeriC coloured(0,0,0,255)   AS "C" graph IeriC graph OggiC

  …don’t be in a rush to send it to them otherwise you might trip over the cat on the spiral stairs and break your arm?

  Hello Roberto,

  I have observed this on equity indices as well. As an example tradingview is posting at least two different closing prices for the SPX (S&P 500) right now. Yesterdays bars are in line by now.

  I think this is caused by after hour activity with the daily bar being updated faster than the intraday bar. Waiting helps and yes, I make no sensitive decisions right on the daily close.
