I'm going crazy about setting a rule to show Red Cloud or Green Cloud at Close time
Did play with all options on Bar position even if should be LastBar for Senkou Span A and B
The chart has right values for Senkou Span A and B at Close, but rules are not giving right cloud color sometimes
Can please someone take a look and let me know what I'm doin wrong or is a bug ?

Hello,
Thanks for your report,
Indeed, we found a bug related to this. But in fact it depends on which value you want to retrieve.
Since, the Senkou A and B buffers are shifted (+26 periods), we have values on the right of the chart in the "void".
Currently, when you select Current Bar position to 0, it is the value of the last bar on the chart, not in the void, as you can see here :

In any case, we advise you to update the software to be sure that it will work

Ok, now using current bar position to 0, I get the right cloud (green or red)
How I can get values of Senkou A/B in "void" ? ...in order to catch a cloud reversal at +26(or custom period) periods
Trading on demo acc. for about 2 weeks I get quite nice results with Ichimoku (8,22,44), so will be nice to backtest weeks/months of data
Thank you !

At the moment, it's not possible to have values of indicators on the right "void" since they are shifted.
If you need this, we could add a checkbox to ask the user if he wants to shift the indicator values in the rules as well ?
This would be in the indicator parameter form, when you attach it to a rule,
In this case, the 0 position of the indicator value, would be the first value on the right, in the "void", no matter the origin shifting of the indicator

That should work OK
and when I choose indicator value as PreviousBar(26) will give me value at current bar ?
Thank you

[NakedMarkets]

Yes, to have the current bar value, you would need to use PreviousBar(26)

[dboanca62]

any timeframe when that checkbox will be added ?
thank you !

[NakedMarkets]

Yes, it would be valid for any timeframe
